I'm a non-professional using nodejs server (backend) and javascript/html (frontend) to fetch data from two API's: one API gives a response and I use an ID from the first API to fetch data from the other API. The API returns XML so I use XML2Json and JSON.parse to get the Javascript Object.
- everything works perfect until I get to the "return nestedFunction(new_details")-function in the second API-call
- so this is where the results are sent back to the client
- I do it for the first API and it works fine (backend + frontend)
- I tried Async/await but the problem isn't solved
- I get the error: "UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: nestedFunction is not a function"
What could be the problem?
app.get('/AATGetTermMatch', function(req,res) {
let termMatch = req.query.term;
let termLogop = req.query.logop;
let termNotes = req.query.notes;
AATGetTermMatch(termMatch, termLogop, termNotes, function (conceptResults) {
res.send(conceptResults);
});
});
function AATGetTermMatch(termMatch, termLogop, termNotes, nestedFunction) {
let URL = baseURL + "AATGetTermMatch?term=" + termMatch + "&logop=" + termLogop + "¬es=" + termNotes;
fetch(URL)
.then(function (response){
return response.text();
}).then(function (response) {
APICallResults = response;
parseJson();
let objectAPI = JSON.parse(APICallResults);
let full_Concepts = objectAPI.Vocabulary.Subject;
let i;
for (i = 0; i < full_Concepts.length; i++) {
global.ID = full_Concepts[i].Subject_ID;
searchTermDetails(global.ID);
} return nestedFunction(full_Concepts);
});
}
app.get('/subjectID', function(req, res) {
let selectedID = req.query.subjectID;
searchTermDetails(selectedID, function (termDetails) {
res.json(termDetails);
});
});
2nd API : http://vocabsservices.getty.edu/AATService.asmx/AATGetSubject?subjectID=300004838
function searchTermDetails(selectedID, nestedFunction) {
selectedID = global.ID;
let URL_Details = baseURL + "AATGetSubject?" + "subjectID=" + selectedID;
fetch(URL_Details)
.then(function (response) {
return response.text();
}).then(function (response) {
APICallResults_new = response;
parseJsonAgain();
let detailAPI = JSON.parse(APICallResults_new);
let new_details = detailAPI.Vocabulary.Subject;
let Subject_ID = new_details[0].Subject_ID;
let descriptive_Notes_English = new_details[0].Descriptive_Notes[0].Descriptive_Note[0].Note_Text;
} **return nestedFunction(new_details);**
}).catch(function (error) {
console.log("error");
});
}
function parseJson() {
xml2js.parseString(APICallResults, {object: true, trim:true, sanitize: true, arrayNotation: true, mergeAttrs: true}, (err, result) => {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
const resultJson = JSON.stringify(result, null, 4);
//JSON.parse(resultJson);
APICallResults = resultJson;
});
}
function parseJsonAgain() {
xml2js.parseString(APICallResults_new, {object: true, trim:true, sanitize: true, arrayNotation: true, mergeAttrs: true}, (err, result) => {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
const resultJsonAgain = JSON.stringify(result, null, 4);
APICallResults_new = resultJsonAgain;
//console.log(APICallResults_new);
});
}
I've read many threads about this error but the proposed solutions don't seem to work.
