I have code below that uses api to fetch customer data. Problem is when it the loop went to the second index, the customerIds
does retain the value from the previous index
(see console log below).
Somebody knows how to achieve this properly?
Here is my code
let customerIds = []; arrayChunks.forEach(async (chunkGroupIds, index) => { try { console.log('customerIds - before', index, customerIds) const checkStatusResult = await checkStatus( token, chunkGroupIds ) chunkGroupIds.map((customerId) => { const found = checkStatusResult.response.data.find( (data) => customerId.toString() === data.customerId ) if (found) { customerIds = [...customerIds, customerId] } }) console.log('customerIds - after', index, customerIds) } catch (error) { ... } }) console.log('customerIds - final', customerIds)
Console logs: The problem can be shown by the text being printed. As we can see when it went to second index it did not get the previous value from index one.
customerIds - before 0 [] customerIds - after 0 [2,3,5] customerIds - before 1 [] customerIds - after 1 [] ... and so on customerIds - final []

Use for of
loop instead of the callback approach
let customerIds = []; let index = 0; for (const chunkGroupIds of arrayChunks) { try { console.log('customerIds - before', index, customerIds) const checkStatusResult = await checkStatus( token, chunkGroupIds ) chunkGroupIds.map((customerId) => { const found = checkStatusResult.response.data.find( (data) => customerId.toString() === data.customerId ) if (found) { customerIds.push(customerId); } }) console.log('customerIds - after', index, customerIds) } catch (error) { ... } finally { index++; } } console.log('customerIds - final', customerIds)
