Node Request inside request with cookie - node.js

Question

I am using node request var request = require(“request”); in my config node to do a POST request and in response get a Cookie which need to be referred in all rest of requests.
I tried enabling COOKIE JAR that works fine if i chain my request under first request but I want to call rest of requests like GetList from custom node.
I tried toughcookie (file cookie) not working when i add var j = request.jar(new FileCookieStore(‘cookies.json’));
node stop working with no error.
Below is my config node, code using which I am getting Cookie.
function myAuthNode(n) {
RED.nodes.createNode(this,n);
this.username=n.username;
this.password=n.password;
this.connect=function(){
//TODO-NG need to make URL configurable
request.post({url: "http://localhost:8080/api/method/login", qs: {usr: this.username, pwd: this.password}}, function(err, res, body) {
if(err) {
return console.error(err);
}
console.log("HERE IF I PUT REQUEST Works fine");
console.log("CAN WE PASS ANOTHER REQUEST here from calling SOURCE to execute here?");
});
};
}
Here in this custom node I am calling
// The main node definition - most things happen in here
function GetListNode(n) {
// Create a RED node
RED.nodes.createNode(this,n);
console.log('I am called');
//using auth config now you are connected, tell me what is needed?
this.authConfig=RED.nodes.getNode(n.auth);
//connect to config and do auth
this.authConfig.connect();
//THIS ALWAYS FAILS due to cookie not found where as I enable request JAR
request.get({url: "http://localhost:8080/api/resource/Project"}, function(err, res, body) {
if(err) {
return console.error(err);
}
console.log("Response body:", body);
});
}
Please suggest how to handle cookie in request so that all requests after auth works fine?
Can we pass a request definition to another request for execution inside it or how Cookie can be handled ?

Answer 1

I resolved this by doing below inside GetListNode(), i shifted second request inside the call:
this.authConfig.connect(function(){request.get({url: "http://localhost:8080/api/resource/Project"}, function(err, res, body) {
if(err) {
return console.error(err);
}
console.log("Response body:", body);
});});
and inside config node i did below, added a function parameter and called that passed function, WORKED fine :):
this.connect=function(f){
//TODO-NG need to make URL configurable
request.post({url: "http://localhost:8080/api/method/login", qs: {usr: this.username, pwd: this.password}}, function(err, res, body) {
if(err) {
return console.error(err);
}
f.call();
});
};
