I am working on a Node.js web function to retrieve data from an API and add it to my Appwrite database. However, when I tried debugging if the data is being retrieved, the callbacks from the http function do not seem to work as I get an empty response when I try to execute the function
JavaScript
import { Client, Databases } from "node-appwrite";import http from 'http';
export default async ({ req, res, log, error }) => { const client = new Client(); const databases = new Databases(client);
client .setEndpoint(process.env.APPWRITE_BACKEND_ENDPOINT) .setProject(process.env.APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID)
if(req.method == "POST") { let data = {}; const options = { hostname: 'http://api.syntesio.ro', port: 80, path: '/SyntesioServices/api/v1/core/product/list', method: 'GET', headers: { 'Authorization': process.env.CHARA_API_AUTH_KEY } } const request = http.request(options, (response) => { response.setEncoding('utf-8');
response.on('data', (chunk) => { return res.json(JSON.parse(chunk)); });
response.on('end', () => log(`Response data string end`)); })
request.on('error', (error) => error(error.message)); request.end();
return res.json(data); }};Summary
Developers faced an issue with callbacks not working in their Node.js function while trying to retrieve data and encountered an empty response. They sought to use async/await with `http.request` function but struggled to find a solution. To resolve the problem, they need to wait for the response before proceeding with the logic instead of returning an empty response immediately.
