How to get synchonous data in firebase?

Question

Is there any way I can make this function synchronous, or add a callback function to run when it\'s finished?

var fbGetLeagues = function(fb) {
  var leagues = [         


        

Answer 1

Just include a callback & Run if after your forEach:

var dbGetLeagues = function(fb, callback) {
    snapshot.forEach(function(child) {
      var id = child.name();
      var name = child.child('name').val();
      leagues.push({'id': id, 'name': name});
    });
    callback(leagues);
}

And call the code like:

dbGetLeagues(fb, function(leagues) {
    console.log(leagues);
});
