-
multiple promises running in parallel, $q.all needs chaining?
1 answer
I have multiple api requests which can run in parallel.
getlocations, getstates, get territories can make a request in parallel. however once i have the states list from getstates() call, i need to make an api request for each individual state and parse the state object.
Here is the code that i have so far, Is it ok to call a promise within a promise this way ?
getAllLocations() {
//make a promise call for all here .
var promise = [];
//first prmise
promise.push(this.getAllLocations(Id).then(
(locationsData) => {
this.locations = locationsData;
}));
//second promise
promise.push(this.getAllStates(Id).then(
(resp) => {
this.states = resp.data;
//for each state , need to make an api call and add to the state info
angular.forEach(this.states, function(state){
var nodeId = state.Id;
this.getStateSummary(nodeId).then((resp) => {
state.healthStatus = resp.data.operationalStatus;
});
},this)
}));
//third promise
promise.push(this.getAllterritories(Id).then(
(resp) => {
this.territories = resp.data;
}));
//after all promises parse teh location data
$q.all(promise).then(() => {
for (var i = 0; i < this.locations.length; i++) {
//do something with with location here
}
this.gridData = this.locations;
});
}
if not , whats the best way to make teh getStatesummary() call ?
I'd simplify each of the 3 promises (especially 1 and 3), so that this.locations, this.states and this.territories are all updated in the $q.all .then - you don't have to, but I think it makes the code a little more readable
Next, assign all 3 promises to a variable (p1, p2, p3 in the code below)
The next issue is waiting on all the states API calls to complete - another $q.all required there
All up, with a little extra ES6 goodness, you get
getAllLocations() {
//first prmise
const p1 = this.getAllLocations(Id);
//second promise
const p2 = this.getAllStates(Id).then(resp =>
//for each state , need to make an api call and add to the state info
$q.all(resp.map(state => this.getStateSummary(state.Id).then(resp => state.healthStatus = resp.data.operationalStatus)))
.then(() => resp) // so we return data for this.states
);
//third promise
const p3 = this.getAllterritories(Id).then(resp => resp.data);
//after all promises parse teh location data
$q.all([p1, p2, p3]).then(([locations, states, territories]) => {
this.locations = locations;
this.states = states;
this.territories = territories;
for (var i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) {
//do something with with location here
}
this.gridData = this.locations;
});
}
If the getAllStates promise returns a Object instead of my assumption that it's an array - then replace the inner $q.all
with
$q.all(Object.entries(resp).map(([key, state]) => this.getStateSummary(state.Id).then(resp => state.healthStatus = resp.data.operationalStatus)))
Actually, the above code would work for Array or Object equally :p
you can use promise chain to send catch promises one after the another
getAllLocations() {
//make a promise call for all here .
var promise = [];
//first prmise
this.getAllLocations(Id)
.then(
(locationsData) => {
this.locations = locationsData;
promise.push(this.locations);
return this.getAllStates(Id)
}).then(
(resp) => {
this.states = resp;
//for each state , need to make an api call and add to the state info
angular.forEach(this.states, function(state) {
var nodeId = state.Id;
return this.getStateSummary(nodeId);
}, this)
return this.getAllterritories(Id);
}).then((resp) => {
state.healthStatus = resp.data.operationalStatus;
promise.push(state.healthStatus);
}).then(
(resp) => {
this.territories = resp.data;
promise.push(this.territories);
this.callAll(promise)
})
}
callAll(promise) {
//after all promises parse teh location data
this.$q.all(promise).then(() => {
for (var i = 0; i < this.locations.length; i++) {
//do something with with location here
}
this.gridData = this.locations;
});
}
