Google Cloud Functions - warning Avoid nesting promises promise/no-nesting - firebase

Given the following function I get the warning:
warning Avoid nesting promises promise/no-nesting (line 6)
How should I re-estructure the function to fix the warning?
function FindNearbyJobs(uid, lat, lng){
return admin.database().ref(`users/${uid}/nearbyjobs`).remove().then(data => {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const geoQueryJobs = geoFireJobs.query({center: [lat, lng], radius: 3 });
geoQueryJobs.on("key_entered", (key, location, distance) => {
return Promise.all([admin.database().ref(`jobs/${key}/category`).once('value'), admin.database().ref(`users/${uid}/account/c`).once('value')]).then(r => {
const cP = r[0];
const cO = r[1];
if (cO.val().includes(cP.val())){
return admin.database().ref(`users/${uid}/nearbyjobs/${key}`).set({ d: distance });
}else{
return null;
}
});
});
geoQueryJobs.on("ready", () => {
resolve();
});
});
});
}

You have a promise then() call nested inside another promise's then(). This is considered to be poor style, and makes your code difficult to read. If you have a sequence of work to perform, it's better to chain your work one after another rather than nest one inside another. So, instead of nesting like this:
doSomeWork()
.then(results1 => {
return doMoreWork()
.then(results2 => {
return doFinalWork()
})
})
Sequence the work like this:
doSomeWork()
.then(results => {
return doMoreWork()
})
.then(results => {
return doFinalWork()
})
Searching that error message also yields this helpful discussion.

How do I combine multiple http requests and merge results

I need to handle a situation where I have 3 endpoints to call and would like to get the data in the most convenient/efficient way. The first call can be handled independently and returns a single result. The second endpoint returns a collection but will need to initiate 0-* subsequent calls, where a given key is present.
Ideally would like to receive the collection (from the 2nd endpoint call) as a mutated/new collection that includes the result from the 3rd endpoint call.
I am currently using forkJoin(observableA$, observableB$) to handle the first 2 calls in parallel but I cannot work out how to include the sequential calls and have the data included in observableB$
//Customer observable
const customer$ = this._customerManagementService.getCustomer(
accountNumber
);
return forkJoin({
customer: customer$,
saleCycles: saleCyclesWithVehicle$
}).pipe(finalize(() => this._loaderFactoryService.hide()));
getSalesWithVehicle(accountNumber: string, dealerKey: string) {
return this._salesCycleService
.getCyclesForCustomer({
customerNumber: accountNumber,
dealerKey: dealerKey
})
.pipe(
concatMap((results: ISaleCycle[]) => {
return results.map(cycle => {
return this._purchaseVehicleService.getPurchaseVehicle(
cycle.vehicleKey
);
});
})
);
}
I expect the collection to include further data as a new property on the original collection
UPDATE
After a bit more thought maybe I should be using reduce somewhere in the solution. This way I can be in control of what's getting push into the array and it could be dynamic?
getSalesWithVehicle(accountNumber: string, dealerKey: string) {
return this._salesCycleService
.getCyclesForCustomer({
customerNumber: accountNumber,
dealerKey: dealerKey
})
.pipe(
switchMap((results: ISaleCycle[]) => {
return results.map(cycle => {
if (cycle.vehicleKey) {
return this._purchaseVehicleService
.getPurchaseVehicle(cycle.vehicleKey)
.pipe(
reduce((acc, vehicle) => {
return { cycle: cycle, vehicle: vehicle };
}, []),
toArray()
);
}
else {
///No extra data to be had
}
});
}),
concatAll()
);
}
I would use concatMap() to merge the responses of HTTP requests 2 and 3.
import { of } from 'rxjs';
import { map, concatMap } from 'rxjs/operators';
const pretendGetCustomer = of({accountNumber: 123, name:"John Doe"});
const pretendGetVehiculeHttpRequest = (customerNumber) => {
return of([{custNum: 123, vehicleId:"2"}, {custNum: 123, vehicleId:"1"}]);
}
const pretendGetCyclesHttpRequest = (cycleIds) => {
return of([{id:"1", name:"yellow bike", retailPrice:"$10"}, {id:"2", name:"red bike", retailPrice:"$20"}]);
}
const yourFunction = () => {
pretendGetCustomer.subscribe(customer => {
// Assuming you do other things here with cust, reason why we are subscribing to this separately
// isHappy(customer)
// Your second & third calls
pretendGetVehiculeHttpRequest(customer.accountNumber).pipe(
// Need to use concatMap() to subscribe to new stream
// Note: use mergeMap() if you don't need the 1st stream to be completed
// before calling the rest
concatMap(purchases => {
const cyclesIds = purchases.map(p => p.vehicleId);
// concatMap() requires an Observable in return
return pretendGetCyclesHttpRequest(cyclesIds).pipe(
// Use map() here because we just need to use the data,
// don't need to subscribe to another stream
map(cycles=>{
// Retrun whatever object you need in your subscription
return {
customerNumber: customer.accountNumber,
customerName: customer.name,
purchases: purchases.map(p => cycles.find(c => p.vehicleId === c.id))
}
})
);
})
).subscribe(resultof2and3 => {
// Do something with the new/mutated Object which is a result of
// your HTTP calls #2 and #3
console.log(resultof2and3);
});
});
}
yourFunction();
I made a stackblitz if you want to see the above run (see console): https://stackblitz.com/edit/rxjs-nqi7f1
This is the solution I eventually came up with. I've taken the advice from BoDeX and used concatMap(). In my mind it was clear that I wanted to use forkJoin and be able to reference the results by object key, I.e customer or saleCycles.
In the scenario where a vehicleKey was present I needed to return the results in a defined data structure, using map(). Likewise, if no vehicle was found then I just needed the outer observable.
const customer$ = this._customerManagementService.getCustomer(accountNumber);
const saleCyclesWithVehicle$ = this.getSalesWithVehicle(accountNumber,dealerKey);
getSalesWithVehicle(accountNumber: string, dealerKey: string) {
return this._salesCycleService
.getCyclesForCustomer({
customerNumber: accountNumber,
dealerKey: dealerKey
})
.pipe(
concatMap(cycles => {
return from(cycles).pipe(
concatMap((cycle: ISaleCycle) => {
if (cycle.vehicleKey) {
return this._purchaseVehicleService
.getPurchaseVehicle(cycle.vehicleKey)
.pipe(
map(vehicle => {
return { cycle: cycle, vehicle: vehicle };
})
);
} else {
return of({ cycle: cycle });
}
}),
toArray()
);
})
);
}
return forkJoin({
customer: customer$,
saleCycles: saleCyclesWithVehicle$
}).pipe(finalize(() => this._loaderFactoryService.hide()));

props in functions not calling the function

I'm trying to fix a problem from the code and don't understand why is not working.
Function:
export const monthlyKpiActions_disp = (threeMonthsBefore, currentDate) => {
console.log('kpppppppppppppppi')
return monthlyKpiActions.fetch({
filter: {
objectId,
interval: threeMonthsBefore + '/' + currentDate,
names: [
'ecostats_fuelusagetotal',
'ecostats_fuelrefmileage',
'ecostats_co2emission',
'tripstats_mileage',
'tripstats_drivingtime',
'optidrive_indicator_8'
].join(',')
},
forceUpdate: true,
resetState: false
})
}
redux
function mapDispatchToProps(dispatch) {
return {
monthlyKpiActions_func: (threeMonthsBefore, currentDate) => dispatch(monthlyKpiActions_disp(threeMonthsBefore, currentDate)),
}
}
calling the function
const currentDate = moment.utc().add(1, 'months').format(dateFormat)
const threeMonthsBefore = moment.utc().subtract(3, 'months').format(dateFormat)
{ () => this.props.monthlyKpiActions_func(threeMonthsBefore, currentDate) }
The problem is that never enters the function, any suggestions?
That's because you never call the action, this line
{ () => this.props.monthlyKpiActions_func(threeMonthsBefore, currentDate) }
Creates a block scope with an anonymous function which internally calls your action, but its never invoked (nor makes any sense in this context).
Just call the action:
this.props.monthlyKpiActions_func(threeMonthsBefore, currentDate)

How do I return the result of a recursive fetch?

I have the first asynchronous function
fetch("https://api.priceapi.com/v2/jobs", {
body: body,
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
},
method: "POST"
}).then((response) => {
return response.json();
}).then((data) => {
return fetchRepeat(data.job_id)
})
And the second recursive asynchronous function.
function fetchRepeat(id){
fetch("https://api.priceapi.com/v2/jobs/"+ id +"/download.json?token=" + priceapisecret.secret)
.then((response) => {
return response.json()
}).then((data) =>{
if(data.status == "finished"){
var bookdata = {
title: data.results[0].content.name,
price: data.results[0].content.price
}
return bookdata;
}
else{
fetchRepeat(id)
}
})
}
I want to be able to access bookdata in the first async function. How do I do that?
In order to talk about a return your fetchRepeat needs to return the promise. It did not so returning undefined was the result. The last then also didn't return the value of the recursion and thus also resolved to undefined.
Here is a working version:
function fetchRepeat(id) {
// return the promise
return fetch(`https://api.priceapi.com/v2/jobs/${id}/download.json?token=${priceapisecret.secret}`)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(({ status, results: [{ content: { name: title, price } }] = [{ content: {} }] }) =>
(status === 'finished' ? { title, price } : fetchRepeat(id))); // return result of recursion
}
Now I let ESLint handle the formatting and since I use airbnb it prefers destructuring. The error in the last then was obvious since ELSint complained about consistent return. I urge you to use a linter and an IDE which enforces a coding style to reduce bugs in your code and make it easier for others to read.

How do i change "this" object

I know the rule that this object cant be changed but need an alternative method .
var that= this
axios.get('http://ec2-54-165-240-14.compute-1.amazonaws.com:3000/api/foodItem').then(function(data){
console.log("inside axios ",data)
that.setState({
items : data,
});
var curGroupId = that.props.cartReducer.val;
var items = that.state.items ;
var curItems= [];
for(var i in items){
if(items[i].food_group_id==curGroupId){
curItems.push(items[i]);
}
}
that.setState({
curItems : curItems
})
}).catch(function(err){
console.log(err)
})
I want to update the state in this object which is not accessible inside the then function and therefore i have stored this object in that before the function but i want to apply changes in the this object.
You can try using an arrow function, that way you will have access to this inside the inner functions.
axios.get('http://ec2-54-165-240-14.compute-1.amazonaws.com:3000/api/foodItem')
.then((data) => {
console.log("inside axios ",data)
this.setState({ // <---- references to the parent scope
items : data,
});
var curGroupId = that.props.cartReducer.val;
var items = that.state.items ;
var curItems= [];
for(var i in items){
if(items[i].food_group_id==curGroupId){
curItems.push(items[i]);
}
}
this.setState({ // this too ;)
curItems : curItems
})
}).catch((err) => {
console.log(err)
})
An arrow function will use the same scope as the parent function, pretty handy for these situations.
One more thing, I don't recommend calling setState multiple times. You should call it only once at the end of the callback, when all your data is ready to use.

How to return to the function level?

I have a function loadMessages, I want it return an Observable.
loadMessages(chatId: string): Observable<Message[]> {
console.log('1');
this.autorun(() => {
const handle = this.subscribe('messages', chatId);
if (handle.ready()) {
console.log('2');
const messages = Messages.find().fetch();
return Observable.of(messages); // here return is not for this function, which is useless
}
});
console.log('3'); // I don't want this line run immediately
// I wish I can return here, but I cannot
}
How can I return to the function level?
Also, right now the order is 1 -> 3 -> 2. Is there any way to run 1 -> 2, and wait there until I get the data?
You can try something like this:
loadMessages(chatId: string): Observable<Message[]> {
console.log('1');
return Observable.create(observer => {
this.autorun(() => {
const handle = this.subscribe('messages', chatId);
if (handle.ready()) {
console.log('2');
const messages = Messages.find().fetch();
observer.next(messages)
}
});
});
}
