Unexpected Infinite Loop in JavaScript Function with Async/Await
I can't seem to get After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out... Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I've been banging my head against this for hours. I'm encountering an infinite loop when using async/await within my JavaScript function. The function is designed to fetch data from an API and process it in a loop. Here's the relevant code snippet: ```javascript async function fetchData() { let page = 1; let hasMoreData = true; while (hasMoreData) { const response = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/data?page=${page}`); const data = await response.json(); if (data.length === 0) { hasMoreData = false; } else { // Process the data console.log(data); page++; } } } fetchData(); ``` When I run this function, it keeps fetching data indefinitely, even when I expect the API to return an empty array eventually. I've tried adding console logs to see what `data` returns, and it seems like the API is indeed sending an empty array when there are no more pages. However, the loop never exits. I checked the response status and console logs, and everything seems fine up to that point. I've also confirmed that the API behaves correctly by testing it with different page numbers manually. My environment uses Node.js v16.13.0, and the fetch API is polyfilled using `node-fetch` version 2.6.1. What could be causing this infinite loop? Is there something I might be missing about how async/await works in this context? This is part of a larger application I'm building. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. Has anyone else encountered this? For context: I'm using Javascript on macOS. For reference, this is a production REST API. I'd really appreciate any guidance on this.
