Hello everyone, I'm having trouble with getting around asynchronous model
of node, I have this function
function getstream() {
console.log('calling testAvail, Avail value is:'
+ available);
testAvailability();
* console.log('Available:'+available);*
if (*available* || SelfSharing) {
// Do something
setDefaults();
return;
}
}
which calls testAvailability() function defined as
function testAvailability()
{
console.log('entered test');
var stat;
var socket = io.connect('http://somedomain.com');
socket.on('error', function() {
console.log('There was an error at server end please try
again');
// chrome.runtime.reload();
setTimeout(chrome.runtime.reload(),3000);
//here i change options
//socket = io.connect(host, options);
});
socket.emit('available');
socket.on('available', function (status) {
console.log('got status from server which is:'+ status);
* available=status;*
console.log("inside the socket.on"+available);
console.log('leaving test, do you see any got status above?');
});
}
Now in this first function I need the *available *variable's value but due
to async nature, my first function continues without getting the value of
*available
*could someone please suggest some work around? code would help.
Thanks
