Wait for something in node.js - node.js

Question

I'm trying to make a webscraper, but I can't get my function to wait for the second request to fill the name key on my object. It always return undefined.
const request = require('request');
const cheerio = require('cheerio');
const base_url = 'https://www.supremenewyork.com';
const shop_url = 'https://www.supremenewyork.com/shop/';
function getItems(category) {
var items = [];
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
request.get(shop_url + category, function(err, res, body) {
if(err) {
reject(err);
} else {
var $ = cheerio.load(body);
$('a', '.inner-article').each(function(i, el) {
var url = base_url + $(this).attr('href');
var isSoldout = false;
var name;
if($(this).find('div').attr('class', 'sold_out_tag').length === 1)
isSoldout = true;
request.get(url, function(err, res, html) {
var $ = cheerio.load(html);
name = $('h1', 'div').text();
})
items.push({name: name, url: url, isSoldout: isSoldout});
})
resolve(items);
}
})
})
}
I expect the name key to be fill but no, i get undefined

Use the request-promise package which wraps request in Promise. Then you can use async/await to wait for result like:
const rp = require('request-promise');
const cheerio = require('cheerio');
const base_url = 'https://www.supremenewyork.com';
const shop_url = 'https://www.supremenewyork.com/shop/';
// notice async keyword
async function getItems(category) {
var items = [];
try {
// using await to wait for promise to resolve
const body = await rp.get(shop_url + category)
var $ = cheerio.load(body);
$('a', '.inner-article').each(function(i, el) {
var url = base_url + $(this).attr('href');
var isSoldout = false;
var name;
if($(this).find('div').attr('class', 'sold_out_tag').length === 1)
isSoldout = true;
try {
const html = await rp.get(url)
var $ = cheerio.load(html);
name = $('h1', 'div').text();
items.push({name: name, url: url, isSoldout: isSoldout});
} catch (err) {
throw err;
}
})
} catch (e) {
throw e;
}
return items;
}
