Wait until all jQuery Ajax requests are done?

Question

How do I make a function wait until all jQuery Ajax requests are done inside another function?

In short, I need to wait for all Ajax requests to be done before I exe

Look at my solution:

1.Insert this function (and variable) into your javascript file:

var runFunctionQueue_callback;

function runFunctionQueue(f, index, callback) {

  var next_index = index + 1

  if (callback !== undefined) runFunctionQueue_callback = callback;

  if (f[next_index] !== undefined) {
    console.log(index + ' Next function avalaible -> ' + next_index);
    $.ajax({
      type: 'GET',
      url: f[index].file,
      data: (f[index].data),
      complete: function() {
        runFunctionQueue(f, next_index);
      }
    });
  } else {
    console.log(index + ' Last function');
    $.ajax({
      type: 'GET',
      url: f[index].file,
      data: (f[index].data),
      async: false,
      complete: runFunctionQueue_callback
    });
  }
}

2.Buil an array with your requests, like this:

var f = [
           {file: 'file_path', data: {action: 'action', data: 'any_data}},
           {file: 'file_path', data: {action: 'action', data: 'any_data}},
           {file: 'file_path', data: {action: 'action', data: 'any_data}},
           {file: 'file_path', data: {action: 'action', data: 'any_data}}
        ];

3.Create callback function:

function Function_callback() {
  alert('done');
}

4.Call the runFunctionQueue function with parameters:

runFunctionQueue(f, 0, QuestionInsert_callback);
// first parameter: array with requests data
// second parameter: start from first request
// third parameter: the callback function
