Good morning ! Currently I am trying to create some kind of simple validation using javascript, but I have a problem with using async functionalities.
Below you can see UI method which iterates through validityChecks collections
checkValidity: function(input){
for(let i = 0; i<this.validityChecks.length; i++){
var isInvalid = this.validityChecks[i].isInvalid(input);//promise is returned
if(isInvalid){
this.addInvalidity(this.validityChecks[i].invalidityMessage);
}
var requirementElement = this.validityChecks[i].element;
if(requirementElement){
if(isInvalid){
requirementElement.classList.add('invalid');
requirementElement.classList.remove('valid');
}else{
requirementElement.classList.remove('invalid');
requirementElement.classList.add('valid');
}
}
}
}
Below is specific collection object which is not working as it was intended
var usernameValidityChecks = [
{
isInvalid: function(input){
var unwantedSigns = input.value.match(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/g);
return unwantedSigns ? true:false;
},
invalidityMessage:'Only letters and numbers are allowed',
element: document.querySelector('.username-registration li:nth-child(2)')
},
{
isInvalid: async function (input){
return await checkUsername(input.value);
},
invalidityMessage: 'This value needs to be unique',
element: document.querySelector('.username-registration li:nth-child(3)')
}
]
function checkUsername (username) {
return new Promise ((resolve, reject) =>{
$.ajax({
url: "check.php",
type: "POST",
data: { user_name: username },
success: (data, statusText, jqXHR) => {
resolve(data);
},
error: (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) => {
reject(errorThrown);
}
});
});
}
The problem is that to var isInvalid in checkValidity method is returned promise. Can anyone advice how to returned there value instead of promise ? Or how to handle promise there ?
Thank you in advance!
EDIT :
Forgive me, but it is my first time with Stack and probably my question is a little bit inaccurate. Some of objects in collections are also synchronous, I changed usernameValidityChecks. How to handle this kind of situation ?
Where I have async and sync method at the same time ?
Instead of below line
var isInvalid = this.validityChecks[i].isInvalid(input);
you can use below code to make code much cleaner and store the desired value on the variable however above suggested solutions are also correct
var isInvalid = await this.validityChecks[i].isInvalid(input).catch((err) => { console.log(err) });
After this line you will get the desired value on isInvalid variable
And also add async keyword in all other isInvalid function definition
