I'm trying to run 2 promises in paralel with sequelize, and then render the results in a .ejs template, but I'm receiving this error:
Promise.all(...).spread is not a function
This is my code:
var environment_hash = req.session.passport.user.environment_hash;
var Template = require('../models/index').Template;
var List = require('../models/index').List;
var values = {
where: { environment_hash: environment_hash,
is_deleted: 0
}
};
template = Template.findAll(values);
list = List.findAll(values);
Promise.all([template,list]).spread(function(templates,lists) {
res.render('campaign/create.ejs', {
templates: templates,
lists: lists
});
});
How can I solve thhis?
I'll make my comment into an answer since it solved your issue.
.spread()
is not a standard promise method. It is available in the Bluebird promise library. Your code you included does not show that. Three possible solutions:
Access array values directly
You can just use .then(results => {...})
and access the results as results[0]
and results[1]
.
Include the Bluebird Promise library
You can include the Bluebird promise library so you have access to .spread()
.
var Promise = require('bluebird');
Use destructuring in the callback arguments
In the latest versions of nodejs, you could also use destructuring assignment which kind of removes the need for .spread()
like this:
Promise.all([template,list]).then(function([templates,lists]) {
res.render('campaign/create.ejs', {templates, lists});
});
You can write it without non-standard Bluebird
features and keep less dependencies as well.
Promise.all([template,list])
.then(function([templates,lists]) {
};
ES6 Destructuring assignment
Promise.all([
Promise.resolve(1),
Promise.resolve(2),
]).then(([one, two]) => console.log(one, two));
This is a Bluebird
Promise feature and you can access it via Sequelize.Promise
without installing Bluebird
module itself
Sequelize.Promise.all(promises).spread(...)
I needed to install BlueBird.
npm install bluebird
Then:
var Promise = require("bluebird");
