I'm working on a project that connects to an api in which it first collects some ids in a list, and then it sends another request to that api using that id list.
In there, I have a method where it makes those api calls in a loop that iterates through the ids and collects them within a promise list that is then converted to a normal array using Promise.all(). This worked as expected until I added the setTimeout. Now, the program resolves well before any of the promises have been pushed. I'm pretty inexperienced in Javascript, so I'm sorry if this a pretty newbie question, but how can I modify this code so that it retains the setTimeout on each call while still properly resolving the promise array?
function getSets(list){
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject)
{
if(typeof list == "string")
{
var ids = [list]
}
else var ids = list
//console.log(ids)
promises = [];
ids.forEach((id, i) =>
{
setTimeout(function()
{
promises.push(getRequest('GET', "https://ballchasing.com/api/replays/" + id, success))
}, i * 5000)
})
//resolve(promises)
Promise.all(promises)
.then((result) => {
//console.log('all resolved ', result)
resolve(result)
})
})
}
