Wait for http post to end using promise - node.js

Question

I am learning to use http post and trying to wait for it to end using promise. But I can't get it to work, please help:
var http = require('http');
const auth = () => {
var post_data = JSON.stringify({
"username": "aaa",
"password": "bbb"
});
const options = {
host: 'http://1.1.1.1',
path: '/v1/authentication',
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Content-Length': post_data.length
}
};
const req = http.request(options, (res) => {
res.setEncoding('utf8');
var body = '';
res.on('data', d => {
body += chunk;
});
res.on('end', function() {
console.log("Response body", body);
});
});
req.on('error', error => {
console.error("error", error);
});
req.write(post_data)
req.end();
return Promise.resolve("!!");
};
exports.helloWorld = (req, res) => {
let message = req.query.message || req.body.message || 'Hello World!';
return auth().then((res)=>{
res.status(200).send(res);
});
};
Entry point is the hellWorld function. What should I do to wait for the http post to finish and get the response result using promise?

Answer 1

here i did some for get api call.
try {
const auth = () => {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const options = {
host: 'api.github.com',
path: '/orgs/nodejs',
port: 443,
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'User-Agent': 'request'
}
};
const req = https.request(options, (res) => {
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', d => {
resolve(d)
});
});
req.on('error', error => {
console.error("error", error);
});
req.end();
})
};
const data = await auth()
console.log('should execute first', data)
console.log('should executed after http call')
} catch (e) {
console.log(e)
}
you can modify above code with your, just you have to wrap your http call inside Promises.
comment down if any its a solution, and mark as a solution
