<![CDATA[Multiple requests to one notification]]>This is more of a javascript question I guess…

Let’s take an example where request gets a result, parses it and sends it to the client:
https://github.com/mykle1/MMM-Cocktails/blob/master/node_helper.js

Now how would I go about if I in that getCocktails function wanted to request 2 URL’s, parse them to one combined result and send that as payload with one socket notification?

Or maybe I should do it in a completely different way?

I managed to get it working with request-promise and Promise.All in my new MMM-Fortnite module. So now my son is happy 😀

Since the API I’m using is a bit unstable I also tried request-promise-retry package, but never got any usable return value from that. Do you have any experience with retries?

Now I remember I read up on promises a long time ago, but never got around to use it. I’ll try it out when I have the time.

Maybe I’ll learn javascript for real some day, it’s just every time I program anything I just get annoyed by the loose typing :)

to use an array to hold the concurrent promises and then wait for all to complete (vs any() which triggers if any complete)
