I have this code in './utils/url.js'. it basically makes the application/x-www-form-urlencoded content form:
const ContentForm = ()=>{
let params = new URLSearchParams()
const randomString = Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 15) + Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 15);
params.append('email', `${randomString}@gmail.com`)
return params;
}
module.exports = ContentForm;
The email parameter is a random string.
and index.js:
const axios = require('axios').default;
const fs = require('fs');
const params = require('./utils/url')
for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
const config = {
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}
}
// sending post with data of web/application the url http://somewhere.com/my-account/
axios.post('http://somewhere.com/my-account/',params(),config, {
})
.then(function (response) {
console.log("request successfully made")
})
.catch(function (error) {
// seeing the error response code
console.log(error.response.status);
})
.finally(function () {
// always executed
fs.writeFileSync('./r.txt',String(i));
})
}
So I want that the 'i' variable be written in the ./r.txt. It actually means that which request we are sending write now. but the problem is that it is really strange in it:
look the video of r.txt changes here
You are running 1000 asynchronous operations in a loop. You start them sequentially, but they all run in parallel. Then as each one finishes each one calls fs.writeFileSync() and it's a race to see which one calls it when. It will be random in what order each one finishes, which is what I think your video shows.
You can sequence them to be in order using await like this:
const axios = require("axios").default;
const fs = require("fs");
const params = require("./utils/url");
async function run() {
for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
const config = {
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
},
};
// sending post with data of web/appliaction the url http://somewhere.com/my-account/
await axios
.post("http://somewhere.com/my-account/", params(), config, {})
.then(function(response) {
console.log("request succesfully made");
})
.catch(function(error) {
// seeing the error response code
console.log(error.response.status);
})
.finally(function() {
// always executed
fs.writeFileSync("./r.txt", String(i));
});
}
}
run().then(() => {
console.log("done");
}).catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});
Or, reorganized a bit to not mix await and .then() in the same function like this:
const axios = require("axios").default;
const fs = require("fs");
const params = require("./utils/url");
async function run() {
for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
const config = {
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
},
};
// sending post with data of web/appliaction the url http://somewhere.com/my-account/
try {
let response = await axios.post("http://somewhere.com/my-account/", params(), config, {});
console.log("request succesfully made");
} catch(error) {
console.log(error.response.status, error);
} finally {
fs.writeFileSync("./r.txt", String(i));
}
}
}
run().then(() => {
console.log("done");
}).catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});
async function writeToFile(){
for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
const config = {
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
},
};
// sending post with data of web/appliaction the url http://somewhere.com/my-account/
await axios
.post("http://somewhere.com/my-account/", params(), config, {})
.then(function (response) {
console.log("request succesfully made");
})
.catch(function (error) {
// seeing the error response code
console.log(error.response.status);
})
.finally(function () {
// always executed
fs.writeFileSync("./r.txt", String(i));
});
}
}
