I want the script call to wait for 2 seconds after every 5 pages.
My requirements are that the for loop should wait for 2 seconds when pageData.Number reaches page 5. So basically, the loop should wait for 2 seconds after every 5 pages.
Not sure how to check if the page reaches page 5 and wait for 2 seconds.
for (var i = 1; i <= pageData.Number; i++) {
var pageRequest = $.getJSON(URL, function (data) {
if (i % 5 == 0) {
sleep(5000);
}
/* .... */
}).fail(function () {
errorPage.push(i);
});
}
// from https://www.sitepoint.com/delay-sleep-pause-wait/
function sleep(milliseconds) {
const date = Date.now();
let currentDate = null;
do {
currentDate = Date.now();
} while (currentDate - date < milliseconds);
}
Here's how you could do it - with async/await and without jQuery.
/**
* @summary waits a specified number of seconds
* @param {number} [seconds] seconds to wait
* @returns {Promise<void>}
* @link https://github.com/samliew/se-electionbot/blob/master/src/bot/utils.js#L910
*/
const wait = (seconds = 1) => new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, seconds * 1e3));
/**
* Your main function, async
*/
(async function () {
const errorPage = [];
const pageData = {
Number: 10,
};
// Test URL
const url = 'https://reqbin.com/echo/get/json';
for (let i = 1; i <= pageData.Number; i++) {
// Fetch url
const data = await fetch(url).then(response =>
// Convert data to json, or return null on error
response.ok ? response.json() : errorPage.push(i) && null
);
// Data exists
if(data) {
// Do something with data
console.log(`Request ${i} completed.`);
}
// Short wait after every fifth request
if (i % 5 === 0) {
console.log('Waiting for 2 seconds...');
await wait(2);
}
}
console.log('Done!');
})();I think you need something like this. It uses javascript remainder operator and a custom sleep function.
for (var i = 1; i <= pageData.Number; i++) {
//setTimeout(func, 2000);
var pageURL = Url + "?startDate=" + moment(startDate).format(dateFormat) + "&endDate=" + moment(endDate).add(1, 'day').format(dateFormat) + "&pageNumber=" + i;
var pageRequest = $.getJSON(URL, function (data) {
if (i % 5 == 0) {
sleep(2000);
}
}
// from https://www.sitepoint.com/delay-sleep-pause-wait/
function sleep(milliseconds) {
const date = Date.now();
let currentDate = null;
do {
currentDate = Date.now();
} while (currentDate - date < milliseconds);
}
