Being new to nodejs ans async following is the code that I came across.
app = express();
/*
other express use calls like - app.use(bodyParser.json());
*/
var async = require("async");
var server;
app.post('/callType/call', function(req, res) {
var startTime = Date.now();
server = req.body.server;
//async.map asynchronuously call enrollStep1 for every element in the req.body.nodes array
//HOW DOES THIS WORK??!! - WHERE IS THE CALLBACK DEFINED OR SOURCED FROM???
//******************************************************
async.map(req.body.nodes, function(node, callback) {
someFunc(node.property1,node.property2,callback)
},
//This function is called when every task triggered by async.map has called its callback.
function(err, results) {
var response = {};
if (err) {
response.success = false;
response.error = err;
console.log("ERROR returned: " + JSON.stringify(response));
res.json(response);
} else {
var returnResults = [];
//Results is an array of array - flatten it
var flattenedResults = [].concat.apply([], results);
//then remove duplicates
for (var i = 0; i < flattenedResults.length; i++){
var obj = flattenedResults[i];
var isDup = returnResults.some(function(element) {
return element.tid === obj.tid;
});
if (!isDup) {
returnResults.push(obj);
}
}
response.success = true;
response.results = returnResults;
res.json(response);
}
});
});
function someFunc(property1, property2, callback) {
var url = '/'+callTypes +'/'+ call +'/'+ property1 +'/'+ property2
urClient
.get(server + url)
.header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
.end(
function(response) {
if (response.code !== 200) {
callback("Error " + ". Code: " + response.code + " Response: " + JSON.stringify(response));
} else {
callback("Success " + ". Code: " + response.code + " Response: " + JSON.stringify(response));
}
}
);
}
The iteratee function for async.map has a definition starting function(node, callback) { but the callback function is never assigned. How does the callback work over here.
Isn't it supposed to be assigned somewhere like callback = myCallbackFunction;
