I am trying to return an array of pushed data from promise, then loop multiple times to populate all data. For instance, I got a list of brands and a function to take in brand p
Firstly, your populateData needs to return a Promise - in this case, it would be the resolved array of promises created in data.forEach
var brandlist = ['Bh', 'Ruffles'];
let promiseKey = Promise.all(brandlist.map(brand => populateData(brand)))
.then(results => [].concat(...results)); // flatten the array of arrays
promiseKey.then((arr) => {
console.log('complete promise');
for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
console.log(arr[i].date + ' ' + arr[i].total);
}
});
function populateData(brand, datasetarr) {
console.log('go in');
var query;// = // query by brand parameter
return query.once('value').then(data => {
var promises = [];
data.forEach(snapshot => {
// get each receipt item details
// get receipt details by receipt ID
var query;// = // query receipts
promises.push(query.once('value').then(data => {
// removed code
// managed to print out here so data fetching is not a problem
console.log(brand + ' ' + date + ' ' + itemTotal);
return {date: date, total: itemTotal};
}));
});
return Promise.all(promises);
});
}
Or, using the snapshotToArray
function I gave you in this answer a week ago
const snapshotToArray = snapshot => {
const ret = [];
snapshot.forEach(childSnapshot => {
ret.push(childSnapshot);
});
return ret;
};
function populateData(brand, datasetarr) {
console.log('go in');
var query;// = // query by brand parameter
return query.once('value').then(data => Promise.all(snapshotToArray(data).map(snapshot => {
// get each receipt item details
// get receipt details by receipt ID
var query;// = // query receipts
return query.once('value').then(data => {
// removed code
// managed to print out here so data fetching is not a problem
console.log(brand + ' ' + date + ' ' + itemTotal);
return {date: date, total: itemTotal};
});
})));
}
