How do I use Await in scripts

I am calling a function that is in a script file using a script. That all works.

The function is an async function.

My question is this:

Does anyone have example of how to make sure that function call is completed before executing particular code? I've always just used the built in AJAX on completed event, but obviously I can't do that here but looking for the same fucntionality.

Thank you,

Not sure if the await keyword is exactly what you want. Could you perhaps illustrate a bit more how you intend to use said function ?

I'm calling this function in a script

// Example POST method implementation:
async function postData(url = '', data = {}) {
 // Default options are marked with *
 const response = await fetch(url, {
 method: 'POST', // *GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.
 mode: 'cors', // no-cors, *cors, same-origin
 cache: 'no-cache', // *default, no-cache, reload, force-cache, only-if-cached
 credentials: 'same-origin', // include, *same-origin, omit
 headers: {
 'Content-Type': 'application/json'
 // 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
 },
 redirect: 'follow', // manual, *follow, error
 referrerPolicy: 'no-referrer', // no-referrer, *no-referrer-when-downgrade, origin, origin-when-cross-origin, same-origin, strict-origin, strict-origin-when-cross-origin, unsafe-url
 body: JSON.stringify(data) // body data type must match "Content-Type" header
 });
 return response.json(); // parses JSON response into native JavaScript objects
}

I have a tutorial that does this:

construct.net/en/tutorials/add-playfab-cloud-storage-2479

Briefly, you add await to the call, and then a 'Wait for previous actions to complete' as the next event.

Any tutorials on how to import a script and use function from it?

I'm importing moment.js to display some unix timestamp code in a specific way.

Anyway, thanks for the help.

Then you should probably simply use the .then() function.

postData(...).then(callbacks)

See documentation here : developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise/then

The tutorial does that. The API file comes from PlayFab.

I am, I guess I didn't show my call.

postData(runtime.globalVars.apiHSURL, {"address":runtime.globalVars.address} ).then(data => {

console.log(data); // JSON data parsed by `data.json()` call

});

So will using the wait for previous action to complete work in this case?

I'm struggling with how you get access to the functions in the js file. I imported my js file and when I try to access the functions they don't seem to exist at runtime. Feel like I missed a step.

how do you need to format the date? I use the C3 Date plugin, and a function that takes a timestamp and a format string similar to what I use in PHP... no scripting or 3rd party addons required.

Using the moment library I can format into now like "A few seconds ago" or "3 days ago"

Does the plugin do that?
