I have two functions in JS, one calls another, but the first one tries again itself after one second if a condition goes false. The problem is, I want the second function to await until this recursive instances are done too.
Here's what I have until now:
async function firstFunction(){
if(SomeCondition){
//do something
}
else{
//do something
setTimeout(() => {
firstFunction();
}, 1000);
//Tries again in 1 second
}
}
async function secondFunction(){
await firstFunction() //waiting firstFunction and its instances to finish
}
Can't figure out how to solve this, any idea?
Since you've made firstFunction async - use Promises to do what you need
async function firstFunction() {
if (SomeCondition) {
//do something
} else {
//do something
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 1000))
await firstFunction();
}
}
async function secondFunction() {
await firstFunction() //waiting firstFunction and its instances to finish
}
