where to place the for-loop in existing node.js scrtip - node.js

Question

I have a existing script from Microsoft that generates data for an IoT hub. Script works like a charm and generates telemetry data every second. Now I want to add an Id to the output of the code. Nothing fancy just starting at 1 and progress with every message up to 1000000
I search for the for loop and found an easy example on W3 schools. But when I use this piece of code the way I think it should be used, it does not generate code every second anymore, but continuously. and the Id field starts at 1000000 and does not add up.
The sample code from Microsoft:
'''var connectionString = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
// Using the Node.js Device SDK for IoT Hub:
// https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-node
// The sample connects to a device-specific MQTT endpoint on your IoT Hub.
var Mqtt = require('azure-iot-device-mqtt').Mqtt;
var DeviceClient = require('azure-iot-device').Client
var Message = require('azure-iot-device').Message;
var client = DeviceClient.fromConnectionString(connectionString, Mqtt);
// Create a message and send it to the IoT hub every second
setInterval(function(){
// Simulate telemetry.
var temperature = 20 + (Math.random() * 15);
var message = new Message(JSON.stringify({
temperature: temperature,
humidity: 60 + (Math.random() * 20)
}));
// Add a custom application property to the message.
// An IoT hub can filter on these properties without access to the message body.
message.properties.add('temperatureAlert', (temperature > 30) ? 'true' : 'false');
console.log('Sending message: ' + message.getData());
// Send the message.
client.sendEvent(message, function (err) {
if (err) {
console.error('send error: ' + err.toString());
} else {
console.log('message sent');
}
});
}, 1000);

The way I used the for-loop:

'use strict';

var connectionString = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';

var Mqtt = require('azure-iot-device-mqtt').Mqtt;
var DeviceClient = require('azure-iot-device').Client
var Message = require('azure-iot-device').Message;
var client = DeviceClient.fromConnectionString(connectionString, Mqtt);
**var id
for (id = 0; id < 1000000; id++) {**
// Create a message and send it to the IoT hub every second
setInterval(function(){
// Simulate telemetry.
var temperature = 20 + (Math.random() * 15);
var message = new Message(JSON.stringify({
id: id,
temperature: temperature,
humidity: 60 + (Math.random() * 20)
}));
// Add a custom application property to the message.
// An IoT hub can filter on these properties without access to the message body.
message.properties.add('temperatureAlert', (temperature > 30) ? 'true' : 'false');
console.log('Sending message: ' + message.getData());
// Send the message.
client.sendEvent(message, function (err) {
if (err) {
console.error('send error: ' + err.toString());
} else {
console.log('message sent');
}
});
}, 1000);
**};**

How to use the for loop in the existing script so I can Add an ID to the output that starts at 1 progresses with 1 every single record up to 1000000

Answer 1

Remove the for loop, just ad id var outside the setInterval in increase it each fire:
// Using the Node.js Device SDK for IoT Hub:
// https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-node
// The sample connects to a device-specific MQTT endpoint on your IoT Hub.
var Mqtt = require('azure-iot-device-mqtt').Mqtt;
var DeviceClient = require('azure-iot-device').Client
var Message = require('azure-iot-device').Message;
var client = DeviceClient.fromConnectionString(connectionString, Mqtt);
**var id
var id = 0;
// Create a message and send it to the IoT hub every second
setInterval(function(){
id++;
// Simulate telemetry.
var temperature = 20 + (Math.random() * 15);
var message = new Message(JSON.stringify({
id: id,
temperature: temperature,
humidity: 60 + (Math.random() * 20)
}));
// Add a custom application property to the message.
// An IoT hub can filter on these properties without access to the message body.
message.properties.add('temperatureAlert', (temperature > 30) ? 'true' : 'false');
console.log('Sending message: ' + message.getData());
// Send the message.
client.sendEvent(message, function (err) {
if (err) {
console.error('send error: ' + err.toString());
} else {
console.log('message sent');
}
});
}, 1000);
