Javascript Support: within apigee, is passing a function as aparameter to another function supported

[markruscitto]

I'm porting existing js functions to apigee. One of the functions is constructed similar to what is shown below in the getRoles() which takes a function as a parameter

In the below function, when running on apigee nothing appears to be evaluated after var userX declaration. This function is skipped and the next is evaluated.

Is this a problem with the syntax or I need to refactor into seperate functions without nested declarations?

function build_my_stuff(config) {
  var userN = "xxxxx";
  var userP = "yyyyyy";
  var device = "rrrrrrr";
  var userX = "pppppT";
  getRoles(userN, config, function(titles) {
    var things = {
          xyz : "GUESS",
          tuv : userN,
          rty : userP,
          uio : device,
          roles : titles,
          attrs : { dev_id : device, user : userX }
        };
    dothis (things, config);
  });
}

The syntax you are using looks fine.

But whether it operates the way you expect depends on what happens in getRoles().

Asynch JavaScript won't work in a JavaScript callout.

What is getRoles? The JS callout will not "wait" for the callback you pass to getRoles , to be called.

Thanks, it was an asynch. call I will have to refactor to use httpclient.
