I am simply trying to paginate through a website, where in order to request the next page, the information on the current page is required.
function paginateSite(numPages, cb) {
var stringToGetToNextPage = ''
for (var i = 0; i < numPages; i++) {
(function(i, stringToGetToNextPage) {
request({
url: 'http://website.com',
qs: {
nextPage: stringToGetToNextPage
}
},
function(err, res, body) {
body_json = JSON.parse(body)
console.log(body_json.stringToGetToNextPage)
})
})(i, stringToGetToNextPage)
}
}
As you can see there is no way for me to set stringToGetToNextPage outside of the anonymous function. I have looked through the async library documentation but couldn't find anything that solved my problem.
Has anybody ran into this problem? It seems like this is a case where the async paradigm doesn't have a clean solution.
