So I have a complex question that may be easy to evaluate, but I am having issues getting it to work.
I have a global object that stores different form submissions and when a button is pressed it iterates through the values and his the APIs based on the key of the values inside. The function works, however the loop iterates completely and then the APIs are hit.
I want to splice or remove the values that are submitted successfully from the object and keep the ones that aren't. I also want to set some type of delay or timeout between each iteration to the API calls to I'm not hitting the API with each call all at one time.
My code may be more complex than it should be, but I've been trying to experiment with different sources. I also read about closures on the loops and understand why the loop is completing before the APIs are finishing, but I'm just wanting to know if there is a better way or basically wanting to get my code to function properly.
Any help on further educating me with this subject or alternative methods would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: So I removed the setTimeout() from the call and the iteration works as it should, but form some reason the array will splice up to the last two values and it gets stuck.I also noticed the i variable works as should when the API call is removed, but it gets thrown off when I add it.
My provider calling the API:
submitBatchData(data,authToken){
//console.log(data,authToken);
const httpOptions = {
headers: new HttpHeaders({
'Accept': 'application/json, text/plain',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': authToken
})
};
return this.http.post(this.apisubmitTreatUrl, JSON.stringify(data), httpOptions).retry(3).timeout(10000).delay(2000);
} submitOfflineForm(data){
var data = data;
var length:number = data.length;
var secondLength = data.length;
var testLength = data.length;
var count=0;
while(secondLength--){//I have another loop that runs before checking for another value. Hance the multiple variables
//console.log(secondLength);
//console.log(count);
this.callAPI(testLength,secondLength,data[secondLength],data);
}
}
callAPI(testLength,i,data,allData) {
//where code is being run
}
When I run just the console logs and splicing array it works as should(3 Values in Array):
case "Batch": {
console.log(i);
console.log('Before: ' + allData);
allData.splice(i,1);
console.log('After: ' + allData);
break;
}

But when I add the API call:

// console.log("Here in Batch");
submit.submitBatchData(data["Info"],token).subscribe((result)=>{
//console.log(result["Status"]);
if(result["Status"]==true){
console.log(i);
console.log('Before: ' + allData);
allData.splice(i,1);
console.log('After: ' + allData);
// isEmpty(i,allData,storage,offline,loading);
}
else{
this.presentToast('Batch Treatment not submitted with location!');
}
}, (err)=>{
this.presentToast('Could not submit Batch Location!');
});
break;
}

The value of i gets thrown off completely, I'm not sure why exactly that is happening. Any help would be appreciated.
