Hi all, I've got the following scenario...I'm querying my local Portal for certain items and then I am processing them using a callback function, as soon as the query returns them. globalVariable      //...      function doSomeOtherStuff() {           //do some other stuff           //requires the updated globalVariable      };      Portal.queryItems(params).then(processItems)           doSomeOtherStuff();      function processItems(items) {           //do something           //update globalVariable      };      //... Giving this is an async call, other things (i.e. doSomeOtherStuff()) carry on while the query is finalised and the items processed. How can I wait for the processItems() to complete before doing anything else (so a synchronous operation in a sense)? The processItems function updates a global variable that I need to use in doSomeOtherStuff() and carry on with the logic. I can't execute doSomeOtherStuff() within processItems() because due to the nature of it, it will take doSomeOtherStuff() out of scope. Hope this makes sense, I've tried to simplify as much as possible. ... View more

Hi all, Not a seasoned developer, so this might have a very simple answer that I'm failing to see/understand. I'm trying to build a custom widget from scratch, and most of my code gets executed when a button is clicked in the widget interface (it's a portal map services search). I am using a global variable that needs to be manipulated at various stages (i.e. events). To keep this as short as possible my code looks something like this: ... addedLayers: [], //This is the global variable postCreate: ... startup: ... customFunctionOnButtOnclick: function() { map = this.map; var addedLayers = this.addedLayers; ...        on(map, "layer-remove", function(event) {             //do something to addedLayers        });                on(map, "layer-add", function(event) {             //do something else to addedLayers        }); }, ... Is there a reason why addedLayers can be accessed in the layer-add event but not in the layer-remove event? I obviously only included the relevant parts of that main function. There are other bits that do different things, but none of which should affect addedLayers. Also the two map events, are in the same succession as presented here. ... View more
