async js 返回值_NodeJS获取异步返回值（回调）

I have read around the internet about callbacks but I just can't understand them in my case.

I have this function, and it logs to console when it runs.

However I now need this response in another function and I am struggling to do so.

var asyncJobInfo = function(jobID, next) {

var oozie = oozieNode.createClient({ config: config });

var command = 'job/' + jobID + '?show=info';

console.log("running oozie command: " + command);

oozie.get(command, function(error, response) {

console.log("*****response would dump to console here:*****");

// console.log(response);

return response;

});

};

This is where I should get it:

(This obviously doesn't work because it doesn't wait for the response.)

exports.getJobInfoByID = function(req, res) {

var jobIDParam = req.params.id;

res.send(asyncJobInfo(jobIDParam));

}

I really struggle to wrap my head around callbacks and I'm staring myself blind here.

Callbacks can't return a value as the code they would be returning to has already executed.

So you can do a couple things. One pass a callback function and once your async function gets the data call the callback and pass the data. Or pass the response object and use it in your async function

Passing a callback

exports.getJobInfoByID = function(req, res) {

var jobIDParam = req.params.id;

asyncJobInfo(jobIDParam,null,function(data){

res.send(data);

});

}

var asyncJobInfo = function(jobID, next,callback) {

//...

oozie.get(command, function(error, response) {

//do error check if ok do callback

callback(response);

});

};

Passing response object

exports.getJobInfoByID = function(req, res) {

var jobIDParam = req.params.id;

asyncJobInfo(jobIDParam,null,res);

}

var asyncJobInfo = function(jobID, next,res) {

//...

oozie.get(command, function(error, response) {

//do error check if ok do send response

res.send(response);

});

};
