misteam

Hi everyone,

I need the get the value of pro_status, but if statement run first before the ajax, so the pro_status always result as null. Please help.

Thank you.

editorv2.on( 'initEdit', function ( e, node, data ) {

  var ps_transaction_id = data.transactions.id;
  var ps_app_level      = data.transactions.approval_level;
  var ps_type_ap        = data.transactions.type_ap;
  var ps_qa_status        = data.transactions.qa_status;

  editorv2.on( 'initSubmit', function ( e, node, data ) {

    $.ajax({
      type: 'POST',
      url: "../pages/get_token_proclb.php",
      dataType: 'text',
      success: function(token) {

        proclb_check_status(token,ps_transaction_id);
        
        console.log("1. PROCLB Status Check (START)");
      },
      error: function(d){
        alert(JSON.stringify(d))
      }
    });

    var pro_status;
    function proclb_check_status(token,transaction_id){

      var obj = new Object();
      obj.token = token;
      obj.transaction_id = transaction_id;  

      $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: "../pages/check_proclb_status.php",
        data: obj,
        dataType: 'json',
        success: function(resultData) {

          if(resultData.succes == true){
            pro_status = resultData.status;
          }else{
            pro_status = "";
          }

        },
        error: function(d){
          alert(JSON.stringify(d))
        }
      });
    } 

    if(pro_status !== "Received"){
      if (
        (ps_app_level == "Quality Assurance" && ps_type_ap == "For Review" && (ps_qa_status == "For Review QA" || ps_qa_status == "For Review Other QA")) ||
        (ps_app_level == "Team Leader" && ps_type_ap == "For Review" && (ps_qa_status == "For Review TL" || ps_qa_status == "For Review Other TL")) ||
        (ps_app_level == "Operations Manager" && ps_type_ap == "For Review" && ps_qa_status == "For Review OM") ||
        (ps_app_level == "Head Manager" && ps_type_ap == "For Review" && ps_qa_status == "For Review Head")
        ) {
        swal("You can't approve this document","","warning" );
      return false;
    }
  }

});
});

Hi @colin, please help.

$.ajax({

You need to remember for the the first a in ajax stands for: Asynchronous.

Your Ajax call happens in the background. Meanwhile the rest of the process continues, then when the Ajax call is done, it's success function is called.

Have a look at the third example on the initSubmit documentation page to see how to handle this.
