How to implement guide with promises in a sequential async function in node.js
I'm working through a tutorial and I recently switched to I'm converting an old project and I'm working with a question with handling promises inside an async function in my Node.js application. The function is supposed to fetch data from an external API, then process that data, and finally save the results to my MongoDB database. However, it seems like the second API call is being executed before the first one has completed, leading to inconsistent data being processed. I'm using Node.js 14.x and mongoose for database interactions. Here's my async function: ```javascript const axios = require('axios'); const mongoose = require('mongoose'); async function fetchDataAndSave() { try { const response1 = await axios.get('https://api.example.com/data1'); // First API call const processedData = processResponse(response1.data); // Process the first response const response2 = await axios.get('https://api.example.com/data2'); // Second API call await saveToDatabase(processedData, response2.data); // Save data to DB } catch (behavior) { console.behavior('behavior in fetching or saving data:', behavior); } } function processResponse(data) { // ... process and return data } async function saveToDatabase(processedData, additionalData) { // ... save to MongoDB using mongoose } ``` The question arises when I see that the second API call sometimes receives stale data from the first call, which leads to errors when I try to save the data to the database. I've tried adding more logging to see the order of operations, and I confirmed that the second API call is indeed being triggered before the first one's processing has finished. I expected the `await` keyword to handle this sequentially. Am I missing something, or is there a common mistake I could be making with async/await? Any help would be greatly appreciated! My development environment is macOS. I'm open to any suggestions. Cheers for any assistance! Any ideas how to fix this?
