I have the following method in a .js file for an asynchronous network connection
function requestWatsonDiscovery (queryString){
console.log('Query =',queryString);
if(typeof queryString !== 'undefined'){
var discoveryUrl = `something`
console.log('Total url =',discoveryUrl);
var options = {
host: 'gateway.watsonplatform.net',
path: discoveryUrl,
auth : auth
};
http.get(options, function (http_res) {
// initialize the container for our data
var data = "";
// this event fires many times, each time collecting another piece of the response
http_res.on("data", function (chunk) {
// append this chunk to our growing `data` var
//console.log(data);
data += chunk;
});
// this event fires *one* time, after all the `data` events/chunks have been gathered
http_res.on("end", function () {
// you can use res.send instead of console.log to output via express
//console.log(data);
data =JSON.parse(data);
watsonReturnedText = parseData(data);
//console.log(watsonReturnedText);
//returnResult();
});});
}}
at the same time I am updating my UI in another .js file.I want to get notified when the above asynchronous method has completed. I understand I can use callbacks /promises to do it.Can you show me the syntax to write a promise or a call back.
