How to properly check and log http status code using promises and node.js?

Question

I am new to JavaScript and very new to node.js framework, just started using it a few days ago. My apologies if my code is nonsensical, the whole idea of promises and callba

Answer 1

You mixed up the first two lines. The new Promise wrapper that gets you the value to return needs to be on the outside, and the http.get call should be inside its executor callback. Also you don't really need that timeout:

function getStatusCodeResult(website) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        http.get(website, (res) => {
            let statusCode = res.statusCode,
                error = statusCode >= 400 && statusCode <= 500 ? `error: ${website}`: null
            if (error) {
                reject(error)
            } else if (statusCode >= 200 && statusCode <= 300) {
                resolve(`Success: ${website}`)
            }
        })
    })
}
