Vistasnode.js is not updating the variable
I am trying to write one functionality where i am trying to read one csv file , and before that i am trying to check the headers of that perticular csv file are given correctly or not.Below is my code
let validHeaders = false;
fs.createReadStream(path)
.pipe(csv.parse({headers : true , ignoreEmpty : true}))
.on('headers',async function(headers){
validHeaders = await CustomValidation.isValidRowsExists(headers);
console.log(validHeaders); // here i am getting true
.on('data',async function(req,res,data){
console.log(validHeaders); //here i am getting false
if(validHeaders){ //do something
This is my CustomValidation class
class CustomValidation{
isValidRowsExists = async(csvRows) =>{
for(let i=0;i<csvRows.length;i++){
if(csvRows[0]==='Col1 && csvRows[1]==='Col2 ....){
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
}
}
}
module.exports = new CustomValidation;
How i can use the validHeaders value

Probably you need something like this:
const main = async () => {
const csvStream = fs
.createReadStream(path)
.pipe(csv.parse({ headers: true, ignoreEmpty: true }));
const validHeaders = await new Promise((resolve) =>
csvStream.on("headers", (headers) =>
resolve(CustomValidation.isValidRowsExists(headers))
)
);
csvStream.on("data", (data) => {
if (validHeaders) {
console.log(data);
}
});
};
main();
UPD:

If CustomValidation.isValidRowsExists were asynchronous (but see below):
moondef's solution attaches the .on("data") handler only after awaiting result of CustomValidation.isValidRowsExists. But by then, the data events may already have happened.
I suggest to attach the handlers synchronously, and use a promise to log the data asynchronously, after the header validity has been determined.
var validHeaders;
csvStream.on("headers", function(headers) {
validHeaders = Promise.resolve(CustomValidation.isValidRowsExists(headers));
})
.on("data", function(data) {
validHeaders.then(function(valid) {
if (valid) console.log(data);
});
});
However, the CustomValidation.isValidRowsExists as shown is in reality not asynchronous, because it contains no await and does not return a promise.
