I'm trying to use nodejs to run a loop functions oh_lawd_it_chonky() that is supposed to do the following: Loop target_users array passing each user to initialize() for authorization, for each given user get data using returnbigdatachunk() take that data and refine it or do something to it using process_returnbigdatachunk() push each of the results of that for each user to an array output.
I have each of the initialize(), returnbigdatachunk() and process_returnbigdatachunk() working individually and so I've omitted the details of those functions for the sake of simplicity in this post, I just can't seem to get the darn oh_lawd_it_chonky() function working. I don't quite understand how to pass through the user parameters correctly in nested functions like this. Please help if you can! Sorry this isn't quite a working example.
const target_users = ['user1', 'user2', 'user3'];
//authorize each user
function initialize(user) {
//do the stuff to get authorization
}
//loop through all the users and build an array of all the process_returnbigdatachunk
const oh_lawd_it_chonky = async () => {
for (var f = 0; f < target_users; f++) {
try {
//get data of passed in user
const returnbigdatachunk = async () => {
const auth = initialize(user[target_users[f]]);
let output = [];
//refine data of passed in user
const process_returnbigdatachunk = async () => {
try {
const data = await returnbigdatachunk();
//push refined data into output array
output.push(process_returnbigdatachunk)
console.log("crampus: " + output)
} catch (e) {
console.error('Failed to process returnbigdatachunk', e);
}
};
};
} catch (e) {
console.error('Failed to process returnbigdatachunk', e);
}
}
};
