Asynchronous Process inside a javascript for loop [duplicate]

Answer 1

ES2017: You can wrap the async code inside a function(say XHRPost) returning a promise( Async code inside the promise).

Then call the function(XHRPost) inside the for loop but with the magical Await keyword. :)

let http = new XMLHttpRequest();
let url = 'http://sumersin/forum.social.json';

function XHRpost(i) {
  return new Promise(function(resolve) {
    let params = 'id=nobot&%3Aoperation=social%3AcreateForumPost&subject=Demo' + i + '&message=Here%20is%20the%20Demo&_charset_=UTF-8';
    http.open('POST', url, true);
    http.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
    http.onreadystatechange = function() {
    console.log("Done " + i + "<<<<>>>>>" + http.readyState);
          if(http.readyState == 4){
              console.log('SUCCESS :',i);
              resolve();
          }
         }
    http.send(params);       
    });
 }
 
(async () => {
    for (let i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
        await XHRpost(i);
       }
})();
