Recently, I started working with promises for the first time. I have a function that returns a promise:
public DatesGenerator(futercampaign: ICampaign, searchparam: any, i: number): ng.IPromise<any> {
return this.$q((resolve, reject) => {
let num: number;
let month: number;
let tempDate: Date;
let deadline: Date = new Date(searchparam.start_date);
let periodicity: Date = new Date(searchparam.start_date);
if (searchparam.periodicity === 'onemonth') { num = (i * 1); month = 1; } else if (searchparam.periodicity === 'twomonth') { num = (i * 2); month = 2; } else if (searchparam.periodicity === 'threemonth') { num = (i * 3); }
if (searchparam.periodicity === '14') {
resolve(() => {
futercampaign.start_date = new Date(periodicity.setDate(periodicity.getDate() + (searchparam.periodicity * i)));
/* Storing the start_date temporarily */
tempDate = new Date(futercampaign.start_date);
/* Calculating the End Date */
futercampaign.end_date = new Date(tempDate.setDate(tempDate.getDate() + searchparam.periodicity));
})
} else {
resolve(() => {
futercampaign.start_date = new Date(periodicity.setMonth(periodicity.getMonth() + num));
/* Storing the start_date temporarily */
tempDate = new Date(futercampaign.start_date);
/* Calculating the End Date */
futercampaign.end_date = new Date(tempDate.getFullYear(), tempDate.getMonth() + month, 0);
})
}
/* Calculating the Deadline */
futercampaign.deadline = new Date(tempDate.setDate(tempDate.getDate() - searchparam.deadline));
return futercampaign;
});
}
This function is being used in another method:
public generateCampaigns(campaing: any, searchparam: any, ev: any): void {
for (let i: number = 0; i < searchparam.number_campaigns; i++) {
if (validapps[i]) {
let copy: any = angular.copy(campaign);
this.DatesGenerator(copy, searchparam, i).then(()=>{
if (!searchparam.wildcard) {
copy.application = validapps[i];
copy.os = validapps[i].os[0];
copy.version_app = copy.os.version[0];
copy.campaing_code = validapps[i].application_code;
}
this.suggescampaigns.push(copy);
});
}
}
}
However, when I call the second function, it gives an error saying that tempDate is undefined and I'm not sure why. Can somebody please help me with this issue?
