I need to wait until three ajax calls have completed until another function should begin. I've tried using the jquery deferred promise https://api.jquery.com/deferred.promise/ but my jobs are returned before the deferred data is loaded. I need to force these three ajax calls to complete before firing the function. I'm not tied down to using deferred, that just seemed like the logical way to go.
I am using datatables and need the ajax calls to complete before data is loaded into them.
"ajax":{
"url": API_ROOT + "jobs?available=true&max_results=500",
"dataSrc": function(data){
function all_loaded(){
var dfd = $.Deferred();
var mats_loaded, fins_loaded, pros_loaded;
setTimeout(function(){
$.ajax({
url: API_ROOT + "finishes?max_results=500",
dataType: 'json',
error: function(){
console.log("Error getting finishes");
},
success: function(data){
finishes = data._items;
fins_loaded = true;
check_all_loaded();
}
});
},2000);
$.ajax({
url: API_ROOT + "processes?max_results=500",
dataType: 'json',
error: function(){
console.error("Error getting processes");
},
success: function(data){
processes = data._items;
pros_loaded = true;
check_all_loaded();
}
});
$.ajax({
url: API_ROOT + "materials?max_results=500",
dataType: 'json',
error: function(){
console.log("Error getting materials");
},
success: function(data){
materials = data._items;
mats_loaded = true;
check_all_loaded();
}
});
check_all_loaded = function(){
if (mats_loaded && fins_loaded && pros_loaded){
dfd.resolve("Loaded");
}
}
return dfd.promise();
}
$.when( all_loaded()).then(function(){
var jobs = data._items;
//a bunch of other stuff
return jobs;
});
}
}
The .when eventually fires, that's not the problem, the problem is that the .when is returning nothing for the data because the Ajax calls haven't been completed. Essentially, we need the .when to stop executing all js until the promise has been resolved.
Sorry for the long code, I just want to be complete and wanted to note that I have three separate Ajax calls. Thanks for your thoughts.
You can use $.when and pass all the ajax calls that you need to wait.
Example:
var ajax1 = $.ajax(..)
var ajax2 = $.ajax(..)
var ajax3 = $.ajax(..)
$.when(ajax1, ajax2, ajax3).then(function(){
oncomplete code here...
});
You need to initialize your datatable using JavaScript-sourced data (see data option) AFTER your Ajax calls are complete instead of using Ajax-sourced data directly with ajax option.
For example:
var ajax1 = $.ajax( /*...*/ );
var ajax2 = $.ajax( /*...*/ );
var ajax3 = $.ajax( /*...*/ );
// When all Ajax requests were successful
$.when(ajax1, ajax2, ajax3).done(function(a1, a2, a3){
// a1, a2 and a3 are arguments resolved
// for the ajax1, ajax2 and ajax3 Ajax requests, respectively.
// Each argument is an array with the following structure:
// [ data, statusText, jqXHR ]
// Merge data from three Ajax calls
var data = a1[0]._items.concat(a2[0]._items, a3[0]._items);
// IMPORTANT:
// Initialize data table once all Ajax requests are successful
$('#example').DataTable({
data: data,
// ... other options ...
});
});
Apologies if this is a duplicate question, I've followed some steps from another question which didn't seem to help me. I am trying to retrieve some JSON data, store part of the data into a variable and use that variable in a separate function outside of the AJAX request.
My expected response from the json data is http://localhost:8000/tutorials/retrieve/?page=2 (This response shows if I log the variable inside of the AJAX code) however the actual response I get when I try to log the variable from another function is as follows:
n.Event {originalEvent: MouseEvent, type: "click", timeStamp: 1436727171161, jQuery21304066238570958376: true, toElement: div#loadmore.recentTutorials…}
Here is the current code
var recentFirstPage = '';
function retrieveTutorials(){
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "/tutorials/retrieve",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data){
**some unrelated parsing code here**
//Set the variable to what I need
recentFirstPage = data.next_page_url;
},
error: function() {
alert("An error occurred processing AJAX request.");
}
});
}
$('#main-content-wrap').on('click', '.recentTutorials', function(recentFirstPage){
//Does not return expected result
console.log(recentFirstPage);
});
When I click .recentTutorials I expect the console to log the data from JSON however it doesn't. Can someone help clear up my error(s)?
The reason that it doesn't log the data from JSON s that the call is asynchronous. This means that the function will execute top to bottom without waiting for the call to finish.
One method that's used is to leverage deferred objects which return a promise on completion. You can accept an anonymous function to the invoker function so that it's call back is executed within the scope of the click.
Observe:
function retrieveTutorials(){
return $.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "/tutorials/retrieve",
dataType: "json"
});
}
$('#main-content-wrap').on('click', '.recentTutorials', function(){
//store our function call as an ajax promise
var promise = retrieveTutorials();
//wait for the ajax to return so we can mutate the data
promise.done(function(data){
//now our data will be properly
recentFirstPage = data.next_page_url;
});
});
It seems to me that you are trying to log the data before the ajax is completed. It`s better to use deferreds . Try this:
function retrieveTutorials(){
return $.ajax({ // will return deferred object
type: "GET",
url: "/tutorials/retrieve",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data){
**some unrelated parsing code here**
//Set the variable to what I need
recentFirstPage = data.next_page_url;
},
error: function() {
alert("An error occurred processing AJAX request.");
}
});
}
$.when( retrieveTutorials() ).done(function ( data ) {
console.log(recentFirstPage);
});
The parameter in your click handler is the last and final nail in your coffin. It's always the jquery event and you shouldn't handle it at all.
You do need to call the retrieveTutorials() function within the handler and you need to pass it a callback function that will be executed on success. So your retrieveTutorials() function will look something like this:
function retrieveTutorials(success){
$.ajax({ type: "GET", url: "/tutorials/retrieve",
dataType: "json",
success: success,
error: function() { alert("An error occurred processing AJAX request.");
} }); }
And your click handler:
$('#main-content-wrap').on('click', '.recentTutorials', function(){
retrieveTutorials(function(data){
console.log(data.next_page_url);
});
});
You can also use all the promise based goodness in the other anwers, but the above would be an idiom you'll see again and again.
I've been trying to figure this one out since my earlier question.
I can receive the data, as I see it under resources using Develop > Show Web Inspector on safari. But I can't seem to assign it successfully to a variable to use later on.
<script>
function getData () {
$.ajax
({
type: "GET",
url: "https://myjirasite.com/jira/rest/api/2/project/ON/versions?",
dataType: 'jsonp',
//async: true,
beforeSend: function (xhr) {xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', make_base_auth("myusername", "mypassword"));},
success: function (){
//Attempt 1 at outputting the result to an alert.
alert(JSON.parse(data));
}
});
}
function make_base_auth(user, password) {
var tok = user + ':' + password;
var hash = btoa(tok);
return 'Basic ' + hash;
}
</script>
In a second attempt I assign the ajax call to a variable and attempt to print that out to an alert. No success. the alert is empty
var jqXHR = $.ajax
({
type: "GET",
url: "https://myjirasite/jira/rest/api/2/project/ON/versions?",
dataType: 'jsonp',
async: false,
beforeSend: function (xhr) {xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', make_base_auth("myusername", "mypassword"));},
success: function (data){
alert(JSON.parse(data));
}
});
alert(JSON.parse(jqXHR.responseText));
I know that the issue lies with ajax calls being asynchronous, but I can't figure out how to write the callback such that I can get the json data into a variable to use later in via a different function.
Don't set async: false, as this will block the browser whilst your Ajax request is processed.
Instead, you can use promises, or call a further function from within your success callback.
Something like:
function getData(){
return $.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "https://myjirasite/jira/rest/api/2/project/ON/versions?",
dataType: 'jsonp',
beforeSend: function(xhr){
xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', make_base_auth("myusername", "mypassword"));
}
});
}
getData()
.done(function (data){
console.log(JSON.parse(data));
})
.fail(function(){
console.log("Error!");
});
<script>
var getData = function() {
$.ajax
({
type: "GET",
url: "https://myjirasite.com/jira/rest/api/2/project/ON/versions?",
dataType: 'jsonp',
//async: true,
beforeSend: function (xhr) {xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', make_base_auth("myusername", "mypassword"));},
success: function (){
//Attempt 1 at outputting the result to an alert.
alert(JSON.parse(data));
getData.data= JSON.parse(data);
}
});
}
function make_base_auth(user, password) {
var tok = user + ':' + password;
var hash = btoa(tok);
return 'Basic ' + hash;
}
setTimeout(function(){console.log(getData.data);}, 3000); // Fire after 3 seconds to get data.
</script>
I don't think $.ajax actually returns anything - but I could be wrong. Either way, that's not too important, because you shouldn't rely on the results of an ajax call being available immediately. Your alert statement is firing before the Ajax request is finished - it sounds like you know that already.
When leveraging asynchronous calls (ajax), its a best practice to have any logic that relies on the data returned from the call to be done in (or triggered by) a callback (or as #Jack Zelig mentions, promises). This is what success parameter of $.ajax is all about. It will get called once the request completes successfully. You can also define complete and error callbacks - which fire once the request is complete (regardless of status) and once the request fails respectively.
So to summarize, your best option is probably this:
var jqXHR = $.ajax
({
type: "GET",
url: "https://myjirasite/jira/rest/api/2/project/ON/versions?",
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: successHandler
});
function successHandler(data) {
alert(JSON.parse(data));
}
In this way, only once data is received will an alert be shown that will contain the data.
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 execute the next. But how?
jQuery now defines a when function for this purpose.
It accepts any number of Deferred objects as arguments, and executes a function when all of them resolve.
That means, if you want to initiate (for example) four ajax requests, then perform an action when they are done, you could do something like this:
$.when(ajax1(), ajax2(), ajax3(), ajax4()).done(function(a1, a2, a3, a4){
// the code here will be executed when all four ajax requests resolve.
// a1, a2, a3 and a4 are lists of length 3 containing the response text,
// status, and jqXHR object for each of the four ajax calls respectively.
});
function ajax1() {
// NOTE: This function must return the value
// from calling the $.ajax() method.
return $.ajax({
url: "someUrl",
dataType: "json",
data: yourJsonData,
...
});
}
In my opinion, it makes for a clean and clear syntax, and avoids involving any global variables such as ajaxStart and ajaxStop, which could have unwanted side effects as your page develops.
If you don't know in advance how many ajax arguments you need to wait for (i.e. you want to use a variable number of arguments), it can still be done but is just a little bit trickier. See Pass in an array of Deferreds to $.when() (and maybe jQuery .when troubleshooting with variable number of arguments).
If you need deeper control over the failure modes of the ajax scripts etc., you can save the object returned by .when() - it's a jQuery Promise object encompassing all of the original ajax queries. You can call .then() or .fail() on it to add detailed success/failure handlers.
If you want to know when all ajax requests are finished in your document, no matter how many of them exists, just use $.ajaxStop event this way:
$(document).ajaxStop(function () {
// 0 === $.active
});
In this case, neither you need to guess how many requests are happening in the application, that might finish in the future, nor dig into functions complex logic or find which functions are doing HTTP(S) requests.
$.ajaxStop here can also be bound to any HTML node that you
think might be modified by requst.
Update:
If you want to stick with ES syntax, then you can use Promise.all for known ajax methods:
Promise.all([ajax1(), ajax2()]).then(() => {
// all requests finished successfully
}).catch(() => {
// all requests finished but one or more failed
})
An interesting point here is that it works both with Promises and $.ajax requests.
Here is the jsFiddle demonstration.
Update 2:
Yet more recent version using async/await syntax:
try {
const results = await Promise.all([ajax1(), ajax2()])
// do other actions
} catch(ex) { }
I found a good answer by gnarf my self which is exactly what I was looking for :)
jQuery ajaxQueue
//This handles the queues
(function($) {
var ajaxQueue = $({});
$.ajaxQueue = function(ajaxOpts) {
var oldComplete = ajaxOpts.complete;
ajaxQueue.queue(function(next) {
ajaxOpts.complete = function() {
if (oldComplete) oldComplete.apply(this, arguments);
next();
};
$.ajax(ajaxOpts);
});
};
})(jQuery);
Then you can add a ajax request to the queue like this:
$.ajaxQueue({
url: 'page.php',
data: {id: 1},
type: 'POST',
success: function(data) {
$('#status').html(data);
}
});
Use the ajaxStop event.
For example, let's say you have a loading ... message while fetching 100 ajax requests and you want to hide that message once loaded.
From the jQuery doc:
$("#loading").ajaxStop(function() {
$(this).hide();
});
Do note that it will wait for all ajax requests being done on that page.
NOTE: The above answers use functionality that didn't exist at the time that this answer was written. I recommend using jQuery.when() instead of these approaches, but I'm leaving the answer for historical purposes.

You could probably get by with a simple counting semaphore, although how you implement it would be dependent on your code. A simple example would be something like...
var semaphore = 0, // counting semaphore for ajax requests
all_queued = false; // bool indicator to account for instances where the first request might finish before the second even starts
semaphore++;
$.get('ajax/test1.html', function(data) {
semaphore--;
if (all_queued && semaphore === 0) {
// process your custom stuff here
}
});
semaphore++;
$.get('ajax/test2.html', function(data) {
semaphore--;
if (all_queued && semaphore === 0) {
// process your custom stuff here
}
});
semaphore++;
$.get('ajax/test3.html', function(data) {
semaphore--;
if (all_queued && semaphore === 0) {
// process your custom stuff here
}
});
semaphore++;
$.get('ajax/test4.html', function(data) {
semaphore--;
if (all_queued && semaphore === 0) {
// process your custom stuff here
}
});
// now that all ajax requests are queued up, switch the bool to indicate it
all_queued = true;
If you wanted this to operate like {async: false} but you didn't want to lock the browser, you could accomplish the same thing with a jQuery queue.
var $queue = $("<div/>");
$queue.queue(function(){
$.get('ajax/test1.html', function(data) {
$queue.dequeue();
});
}).queue(function(){
$.get('ajax/test2.html', function(data) {
$queue.dequeue();
});
}).queue(function(){
$.get('ajax/test3.html', function(data) {
$queue.dequeue();
});
}).queue(function(){
$.get('ajax/test4.html', function(data) {
$queue.dequeue();
});
});
A little workaround is something like this:
// Define how many Ajax calls must be done
var ajaxCalls = 3;
var counter = 0;
var ajaxCallComplete = function() {
counter++;
if( counter >= ajaxCalls ) {
// When all ajax calls has been done
// Do something like hide waiting images, or any else function call
$('*').css('cursor', 'auto');
}
};
var loadPersons = function() {
// Show waiting image, or something else
$('*').css('cursor', 'wait');
var url = global.ctx + '/loadPersons';
$.getJSON(url, function(data) {
// Fun things
})
.complete(function() { **ajaxCallComplete();** });
};
var loadCountries = function() {
// Do things
var url = global.ctx + '/loadCountries';
$.getJSON(url, function(data) {
// Travels
})
.complete(function() { **ajaxCallComplete();** });
};
var loadCities = function() {
// Do things
var url = global.ctx + '/loadCities';
$.getJSON(url, function(data) {
// Travels
})
.complete(function() { **ajaxCallComplete();** });
};
$(document).ready(function(){
loadPersons();
loadCountries();
loadCities();
});
Hope can be useful...
javascript is event-based, so you should never wait, rather set hooks/callbacks
You can probably just use the success/complete methods of jquery.ajax
Or you could use .ajaxComplete :
$('.log').ajaxComplete(function(e, xhr, settings) {
if (settings.url == 'ajax/test.html') {
$(this).text('Triggered ajaxComplete handler.');
//and you can do whatever other processing here, including calling another function...
}
});
though youy should post a pseudocode of how your(s) ajax request(s) is(are) called to be more precise...
jQuery allows you to specify if you want the ajax request to be asynchronous or not. You can simply make the ajax requests synchronous and then the rest of the code won't execute until they return.
For example:
jQuery.ajax({
async: false,
//code
});
As other answers mentioned you can use ajaxStop() to wait until all ajax request are completed.
$(document).ajaxStop(function() {
// This function will be triggered every time any ajax request is requested and completed
});
If you want do it for an specific ajax() request the best you can do is use complete() method inside the certain ajax request:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "someUrl",
success: function(data) {
// This function will be triggered when ajax returns a 200 status code (success)
},
complete: function() {
// This function will be triggered always, when ajax request is completed, even it fails/returns other status code
},
error: function() {
// This will be triggered when ajax request fail.
}
});
But, If you need to wait only for a few and certain ajax request to be done? Use the wonderful javascript promises to wait until the these ajax you want to wait are done. I made a shortly, easy and readable example to show you how does promises works with ajax. Please take a look to the next example. I used setTimeout to clarify the example.
// Note:
// resolve() is used to mark the promise as resolved
// reject() is used to mark the promise as rejected
$(document).ready(function() {
$("button").on("click", function() {
var ajax1 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "https://miro.medium.com/max/1200/0*UEtwA2ask7vQYW06.png",
xhrFields: { responseType: 'blob'},
success: function(data) {
setTimeout(function() {
$('#image1').attr("src", window.URL.createObjectURL(data));
resolve(" Promise ajax1 resolved");
}, 1000);
},
error: function() {
reject(" Promise ajax1 rejected");
},
});
});
var ajax2 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "https://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/social-media-vol-1-1/24/_github-512.png",
xhrFields: { responseType: 'blob' },
success: function(data) {
setTimeout(function() {
$('#image2').attr("src", window.URL.createObjectURL(data));
resolve(" Promise ajax2 resolved");
}, 1500);
},
error: function() {
reject(" Promise ajax2 rejected");
},
});
});
var ajax3 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "https://miro.medium.com/max/632/1*LUfpOf7teWvPdIPTBmYciA.png",
xhrFields: { responseType: 'blob' },
success: function(data) {
setTimeout(function() {
$('#image3').attr("src", window.URL.createObjectURL(data));
resolve(" Promise ajax3 resolved");
}, 2000);
},
error: function() {
reject(" Promise ajax3 rejected");
},
});
});
Promise.all([ajax1, ajax2, ajax3]).then(values => {
console.log("We waited until ajax ended: " + values);
console.log("My few ajax ended, lets do some things!!")
}, reason => {
console.log("Promises failed: " + reason);
});
// Or if you want wait for them individually do it like this
// ajax1.then(values => {
// console.log("Promise 1 resolved: " + values)
// }, reason => {
// console.log("Promise 1 failed: " + reason)
// });
});

If you need something simple; once and done callback
//multiple ajax calls above
var callback = function () {
if ($.active !== 0) {
setTimeout(callback, '500');
return;
}
//whatever you need to do here
//...
};
callback();
Also you could use async.js.
I think its better than $.when because you can merge all kinds of asynchronous call that does not support promises out of the box like timeouts, SqlLite calls etc. and not just ajax requests.
On the basis of #BBonifield answer, I wrote a utility function so that semaphore logic is not spread in all the ajax calls.
untilAjax is the utility function which invokes a callback function when all the ajaxCalls are completed.
ajaxObjs is a array of ajax setting objects [http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/].
fn is callback function
function untilAjax(ajaxObjs, fn) {
if (!ajaxObjs || !fn) {
return;
}
var ajaxCount = ajaxObjs.length,
succ = null;
for (var i = 0; i < ajaxObjs.length; i++) { //append logic to invoke callback function once all the ajax calls are completed, in success handler.
succ = ajaxObjs[i]['success'];
ajaxObjs[i]['success'] = function(data) { //modified success handler
if (succ) {
succ(data);
}
ajaxCount--;
if (ajaxCount == 0) {
fn(); //modify statement suitably if you want 'this' keyword to refer to another object
}
};
$.ajax(ajaxObjs[i]); //make ajax call
succ = null;
};
Example: doSomething function uses untilAjax.
function doSomething() {
// variable declarations
untilAjax([{
url: 'url2',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
//do something with success data
}
}, {
url: 'url1',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
//do something with success data
}
}, {
url: 'url2',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(response) {
//do something with success data
}
}], function() {
// logic after all the calls are completed.
});
}
I highly recommend using $.when() if you're starting from scratch.
Even though this question has over million answers, I still didn't find anything useful for my case. Let's say you have to deal with an existing codebase, already making some ajax calls and don't want to introduce the complexity of promises and/or redo the whole thing.
We can easily take advantage of jQuery .data, .on and .trigger functions which have been a part of jQuery since forever.
Codepen
The good stuff about my solution is:
it's obvious what the callback exactly depends on
the function triggerNowOrOnLoaded doesn't care if the data has been already loaded or we're still waiting for it
it's super easy to plug it into an existing code
$(function() {
// wait for posts to be loaded
triggerNowOrOnLoaded("posts", function() {
var $body = $("body");
var posts = $body.data("posts");
$body.append("<div>Posts: " + posts.length + "</div>");
});
// some ajax requests
$.getJSON("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts", function(data) {
$("body").data("posts", data).trigger("posts");
});
// doesn't matter if the `triggerNowOrOnLoaded` is called after or before the actual requests
$.getJSON("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users", function(data) {
$("body").data("users", data).trigger("users");
});
// wait for both types
triggerNowOrOnLoaded(["posts", "users"], function() {
var $body = $("body");
var posts = $body.data("posts");
var users = $body.data("users");
$body.append("<div>Posts: " + posts.length + " and Users: " + users.length + "</div>");
});
// works even if everything has already loaded!
setTimeout(function() {
// triggers immediately since users have been already loaded
triggerNowOrOnLoaded("users", function() {
var $body = $("body");
var users = $body.data("users");
$body.append("<div>Delayed Users: " + users.length + "</div>");
});
}, 2000); // 2 seconds
});
// helper function
function triggerNowOrOnLoaded(types, callback) {
types = $.isArray(types) ? types : [types];
var $body = $("body");
var waitForTypes = [];
$.each(types, function(i, type) {
if (typeof $body.data(type) === 'undefined') {
waitForTypes.push(type);
}
});
var isDataReady = waitForTypes.length === 0;
if (isDataReady) {
callback();
return;
}
// wait for the last type and run this function again for the rest of the types
var waitFor = waitForTypes.pop();
$body.on(waitFor, function() {
// remove event handler - we only want the stuff triggered once
$body.off(waitFor);
triggerNowOrOnLoaded(waitForTypes, callback);
});
}

To expand upon Alex's answer, I have an example with variable arguments and promises. I wanted to load images via ajax and display them on the page after they all loaded.
To do that, I used the following:
let urlCreator = window.URL || window.webkitURL;
// Helper function for making ajax requests
let fetch = function(url) {
return $.ajax({
type: "get",
xhrFields: {
responseType: "blob"
},
url: url,
});
};
// Map the array of urls to an array of ajax requests
let urls = ["https://placekitten.com/200/250", "https://placekitten.com/300/250"];
let files = urls.map(url => fetch(url));
// Use the spread operator to wait for all requests
$.when(...files).then(function() {
// If we have multiple urls, then loop through
if(urls.length > 1) {
// Create image urls and tags for each result
Array.from(arguments).forEach(data => {
let imageUrl = urlCreator.createObjectURL(data[0]);
let img = `<img src=${imageUrl}>`;
$("#image_container").append(img);
});
}
else {
// Create image source and tag for result
let imageUrl = urlCreator.createObjectURL(arguments[0]);
let img = `<img src=${imageUrl}>`;
$("#image_container").append(img);
}
});
Updated to work for either single or multiple urls: https://jsfiddle.net/euypj5w9/
I found simple way, it using shift()
function waitReq(id)
{
jQuery.ajax(
{
type: 'POST',
url: ajaxurl,
data:
{
"page": id
},
success: function(resp)
{
...........
// check array length if not "0" continue to use next array value
if(ids.length)
{
waitReq(ids.shift()); // 2
)
},
error: function(resp)
{
....................
if(ids.length)
{
waitReq(ids.shift());
)
}
});
}
var ids = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
// shift() = delete first array value (then print)
waitReq(ids.shift()); // print 1
My solution is as follows
var request;
...
'services': {
'GetAddressBookData': function() {
//This is the primary service that loads all addressbook records
request = $.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "Default.aspx/GetAddressBook",
contentType: "application/json;",
dataType: "json"
});
},
...
'apps': {
'AddressBook': {
'data': "",
'Start': function() {
...services.GetAddressBookData();
request.done(function(response) {
trace("ajax successful");
..apps.AddressBook.data = response['d'];
...apps.AddressBook.Filter();
});
request.fail(function(xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
trace("ajax failed - " + errorThrown);
});
Worked quite nicely. I've tried a lot of different ways of doing this, but I found this to be the simplest and most reusable. Hope it helps
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
$.when doesn't work for me, callback(x) instead of return x worked as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/13455253/10357604
The below solution worked for me using $when
$.when(master.GetStateByName(stateName)).done(function(response) {
if (response) {
}
});
GetStateByName: function(stateName) {
return $.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: getStatesByName + '?stateName=' + stateName,
async: false,
});
}
This is working for me
It's very simple
return $.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: urlBaseUrl
data: {someData:someData},
dataType: "json",
success: function(resultData) {
}
});
Try this way. make a loop inside java script function to wait until the ajax call finished.
function getLabelById(id)
{
var label = '';
var done = false;
$.ajax({
cache: false,
url: "YourMvcActionUrl",
type: "GET",
dataType: "json",
async: false,
error: function (result) {
label='undefined';
done = true;
},
success: function (result) {
label = result.Message;
done = true;
}
});
//A loop to check done if ajax call is done.
while (!done)
{
setTimeout(function(){ },500); // take a sleep.
}
return label;
}
