I have a situation in which my ajax calls must perform in a particular order. I have used jQuery Deferred objects in other situations, but cannot seem to find a way to make this behave appropriately.
I have a function which performs a number of ajax
requests in it's lifetime. Some of the requests will be performed during the success callback of other requests.
My question: is there a way to return all nested deferred objects to the original $.when
call?
A simplified example would be:
function nestedAjax() {
$.get("/", function(){
console.log("First ajax done.");
$.get("/", function(){
console.log("Second ajax done.");
});
});
};
I am trying to have the nestedAjax
function to use $.when()
and $.done()
like so:
$.when(nestedAjax()).done(function(){
console.log("Complete");
});
With the console output reading:
> First ajax done.
> Second ajax done.
> Complete.
I can return the first get
to achieve this:
> First ajax done.
> Complete.
> Second ajax done.
But obviously this is not what I require. Any help would be appreciated.
It's actually quite simple. Though all the AJAX calls are Deferred objects, I still use one for the method itself.
function nestedAjax() {
var dfd = $.Deferred();
$.get("/echo/json/", function(){
console.log("First ajax done.");
$.get("/echo/json/", function(){
console.log("Second ajax done.");
dfd.resolve();
});
});
return dfd.promise();
};
