I’m trying to fill an array of objects with specific property values and am using Promises with async/await with Javascript in a Node.JS environment. Here is the main part:
getPublicNotes(connectHeaders, baseurl, pubKey, noteKeyList).then((nkl) => {
if (nkl.length > 0) {
getSecurityAbEntry(connectHeaders, baseurl, nkl);
for (let count = 0; count < nkl.length; count++) {
let secGroupKey = getSecurityAbEntry(connectHeaders, baseurl, nkl[count]);
nkl[count].writeAccessKey = secGroupKey;
}
} else {
console.log("EMPTY: There are no Public Notes; nothing to process.");
}
/* for (let count2 = 0; count2 < nkl.length; count2++) {
let notesSecGroup = setNoteSecurity(connectHeaders, baseurl, nkl[count2]);
console.log(notesSecGroup);
} */
});
noteKeyList is an array of objects, initially empty.
getPublicNotes(...noteKeyList) is an async function that returns an array of objects within a Promise.
getSecurityAbEntry(...nkl[count]) is an async function that takes in a single object and returns a single writeAccessKey value within a Promise. At the end of the for loop, the noteKeyList array looks like this:
[
{
abEntryKey: 'abc124der',
noteKey: '098ert'
writeAccessKey: Promise { <pending> }
},
{
abEntryKey: 'def321red',
noteKey: '392tkf'
writeAccessKey: Promise { <pending> }
},
{
abEntryKey: 'ghi645green',
noteKey: '9384fds'
writeAccessKey: Promise { <pending> }
},
...
]
How do I use then() to access each objects’ writeAccessKey property?
The setNoteSecurity() is what I want to use next on each object in the array but don’t know how to dig into each object in the array to feed into this async function.
Suggestions?
PS: I can give you the contents of each async function but I figure I’ll start with this in case it’s the functions’ contents is not necessary.
