It seems as if my code is executing out of order...
Here is my code:
console.log("Function Call - " + profAvailable("Plumber"));
function profAvailable(occ) {
var result = false;
var reqGet = http.get(optionsget, function(res) {
res.on('data', function(d) {
//parsing the data to JSON format
var parsedShit = JSON.parse(d);
providers = parsedShit.Providers;//Getting a list of all the providers
console.log("Provider Length: " + providers.length);
for (var i = 0; i < providers.length; i++) {
if (providers[i].Occupation.localeCompare(occ) == 0 && providers[i].Status == 0) {
result = true;
}
}
});
});
reqGet.end();
console.log("result - " + result);
return result;
}
My output is this:
result - false
Function Call - false
Provider Length: 4
My code is calling the function, skipping over the http request, returning the method as false, and then entering the http request which is inside the function (as you can see from the print statements in the code, and output). This is my first time working with stuff like this, so I'm not sure why the code is executing in that order, because it seems strange.
Edit** The value returned by the function depends on info I retrieve from the get call, so how do I fix my code to incorporate that?
