Variable out of scope?

[Oli Ullmann]

Hello to all,

I am trying to implement an online license activation using the developer's HISE demo code.

When I split the code into multiple functions as suggested by the developer, the function “getUserLicense” does not see the “token” variable or it is not defined in this function. If I put everything in one function, it works.

Does anyone know why this is the case?

Thank you very much
Oli

// Declare Variables
var payload;
var token;

// Setting the Base URL
Server.setBaseURL("https://demo.firassaidi.com/wc-license-manager");

// Retrieve the JSON Web Token (JWT)
inline function getJSONWebToken(username, password) {
    payload = {
        "username": username,
        "password": password
    };

    Server.callWithPOST('/wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/token', payload, function(status, response) {
        token = response.token;
        Console.print("Token: " + token);
    });
}


// Fetch User Licenses
inline function getUserLicense() {
    if (isDefined(token))
    	{
        Server.setHttpHeader("Authorization: Bearer " + token);
        Server.callWithPOST('/wp-json/wclm/v3/get-current-user-licenses', {}, function(status, response) {
            Console.print(trace(response));
        });
    }
}

// Functioncalls
if(Server.isOnline())
{
	getJSONWebToken("demo", "demo");
	getUserLicense();
}

@Oli-Ullmann Don't use var unless it's the only choice. Use reg or const as appropriate.

getUserLicense is being called in on init before a value has been assigned to the token variable, so it will be undefined. Assign a default value to it and then the error should go away.

@d-healey
Hey David,
in my project I actually use reg.

token = response.token;

this line assigns a value to the “token” variable in the getJSONWebToken() function that is called before, doesn't it?

@Oli-Ullmann said in Variable out of scope?:

that is called before, doesn't it?

It's called before, but that function is calling a server which takes time to get a response, in the meantime your getUserLicense function has already been called.

@d-healey Ah ok, do you see a way to execute the getUserLicense() function only after the response of the getJSONWebToken() function is there?

[d.healey]

@Oli-Ullmann Call it from within the other function

@d-healey Yes, that was my approach too. I thought there was a better way. But then I do it this way. Thanks to you! :-)
