VisualizaçõesHow to use async/await inside promise executor to read pdf content?
import axios from 'axios'
export const findNumberOfPages = async pdfUrl => {
return new Promise(async (resolve, reject) => {
try {
const response = await axios.get(pdfUrl, {
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/pdf' }
})
const reader = new FileReader()
reader.readAsBinaryString(new Blob([response.data]))
reader.onloadend = () => {
const pages = reader.result.match(/\/Type[\s]*\/Page[^s]/g)
const count = pages?.length
resolve(count)
}
} catch (error) {
reject(new Error(`Error when fetching pdf: ${error.message}`))
}
})
}
I'm adding a utility to get number of pages in a pdf(https url) using File Reader API.
But eslint shows an error, Promise executor functions should not be async. (no-async-promise-executor)standard(no-async-promise-executor), and I want to await the axios request to get the pdf response. How can i await the axios request and resolve the number of pages on onloadend of FileReader?

You don't need the promise constructor here. You would (although not quite in that way) if you had to use FileReader, but you don't, Blob has a text method that reads the blob as text:
import axios from 'axios';
export const findNumberOfPages = async pdfUrl => {
try {
const response = await axios.get(pdfUrl, {
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/pdf' }
});
const result = await new Blob([response.data]).text();
const pages = result.match(/\/Type[\s]*\/Page[^s]/g);
const count = pages?.length;
return count;
} catch (error) {
throw new Error(`Error when fetching pdf: ${error.message}`);
}
};
I don't use axios, but I suspect that axios.get call is a bit off. You've specified a Content-Type, but you're not sending data (the Content-Type request header specifies the type of data you're sending, not receiving). Also, I suspect you don't need the Blob part of this at all.
Using the built-in fetch instead, I'd expect you could do it like this:
import axios from 'axios';
export const findNumberOfPages = async pdfUrl => {
try {
const response = await fetch(pdfUrl);
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(`HTTP error ${response.status}`);
}
const result = await response.text();
const pages = result.match(/\/Type[\s]*\/Page[^s]/g);
const count = pages?.length;
return count;
} catch (error) {
throw new Error(`Error when fetching pdf: ${error.message}`);
}
};
