I need to re-execute a hand made for loop (because I need time between each step) 10s after it ends forever.
So after few tries, I came with this code, but it doesn't work because it re-executes every 10s, not after the loop finishes. I tried to but async function in the interval and put all my code in an await one, but it didn't work.
async function refreshEDT() {
let rows = appModel.getAll()
let orderFiliere = {};
await rows.then((res) => {
for (let i = 0; i < res.length; i++) {
if (res[i].filiere in orderFiliere) {
orderFiliere[res[i].filiere].push(res[i])
} else {
orderFiliere[res[i].filiere] = [res[i]]
}
}
})
return orderFiliere
}
let edt = refreshEDT()
setInterval(() => {
edt = refreshEDT()
}, 1000 * 60 * 60) //ms to s to m to h
setInterval(() => {
edt.then((lessons) => {
(function loop(i) {
let lessons_key = Object.keys(lessons)
setTimeout(() => {
// processing things
if (--i) loop(i);
}, 1000 * 10) //ms to s to 10s
})(Object.keys(lessons).length - 1)
})
console.log(1)
}, 1000 * 10) //ms to s to 10s
Do you have any solution?
Ty!
EDIT Let's explain what I try to do: I get things on my DB, try to classify by "filiere", one of my column, and return that object. Those data are reloaded every hour. After that, I need to emit with socket.io every "filiere" with 10s between, and repeat that.
Perhaps the code will be easier to read when you wrap setTimeout with a promise to await.
function sleep(ms) {
return new Promise((resolve) => {
setTimeout(resolve, ms);
});
}
async function refreshEDT() {
const res = await appModel.getAll();
const orderFiliere = res.reduce((acc, value) => {
const { filiere } = value;
if (filiere in acc) {
acc[filiere].push(value);
} else {
acc[filiere] = [value];
}
return acc;
}, {});
return orderFiliere;
}
// consider naming this
(async () => {
let edt = refreshEDT();
setInterval(() => {
edt = refreshEDT();
}, 1000 * 60 * 60);
while (true) {
const lessons = await edt;
for (const lessons_key of Object.keys(lessons)) {
await sleep(1000 * 10);
// processing things
}
// repeat after 10 seconds
await sleep(1000 * 10);
}
})();
With ES2022, you can use Array.prototype.groupBy() to simplify your refreshEDT() implementation:
async function refreshEDT() {
const res = await appModel.getAll();
const orderFiliere = res.groupBy(({ filiere }) => filiere);
return orderFiliere;
}
You could try using setTimeout to call your function again.
const myFunc = () => {
// processing things
setTimeout(myFunc , 10000)
}
myFunc();
I think this could help if i understood the problem correctly :
const wait = (ms) => new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
async yourFunction() {
const secondsToWait: number = 10;
let i = 0;
for (let item of List) {
// Do stuff
if (i === list.length -1) {
await wait(secondsToWait*1000);
yourFunction();
}
i++;
}
}
