I hope you can help me. I am developing a functionality that reads a series of data (data is taked from csv file) and checks if it has to put it in a list or not. The problem comes when I start to check the data (through promises) since it gives me an error telling me that the rejected promise has not been captured. You will need to use the following:
// -npm install email-existence
const emailExistence = require("email-existence");
The code:
function checkEmailExistencePromise(element) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
emailExistence.check(element.email, (error, response) => {
if (error) {
reject(error);
return;
}
// If the person has false email the promise will be save (as object) with "Exists" attribute in false.
if (!response) {
resolve({
name: element.name,
phone: element.phone,
email: element.email,
document: element.document,
weight: element.weight,
tags: element.tags,
exists: false,
});
return;
}
// If the person has valid email the promise will be save (as object) with "Exists" attribute in true.
resolve({
name: element.name,
phone: element.phone,
email: element.email,
document: element.document,
weight: element.weight,
tags: element.tags,
exists: true,
});
});
}).catch(() => {
throw console.error();
});
}
// I call the function that will write the CSV file with valid email records.
checkEmails();
// This function collects the promises of the "checkEmailExistencePromise" function and dumps them into an array.
async function checkEmails() {
const promises = sinRepetidos.map((element) =>
checkEmailExistencePromise(element)
);
const values = await Promise.all(promises);
// Here we go through the promises (which are also objects) and those with the true attribute I put them in a new array that will be printed later.
values.forEach((element) => {
if (element.exists === true) {
checked.push(element);
}
});
Because checkEmailExistencePromise()
can throw an error (both through the reject()
and the throw
call), you need to wrap your
const values = await Promise.all(promises);
call in checkEmails()
in a try..catch
as well, like so
let values = null;
try {
values = await Promise.all(promises)
} catch (e) {
console.error(e)
}
// do something with values, if it's not null
Edit
As you most likely don't want checkEmailExistencePromise
to throw an error, you can replace it with this:
function checkEmailExistencePromise(element) {
// NOTE: we're making is so that this promise never rejects - if there's
// an error in there, we'll assume that the email isn't valid
return new Promise(resolve => {
emailExistence.check(element.email, (error, response) => {
let exists = false;
if (error) {
// we can log the error, to make sure we're not doing anything wrong
// that needs to be fixed - some errors can be legit, though
console.error(error);
}
// NOTE: we should probably actually check the response
if(response) {
exists = true;
}
resolve({
name: element.name,
phone: element.phone,
email: element.email,
document: element.document,
weight: element.weight,
tags: element.tags,
exists
})
});
})
}
We take any error to mean that the email isn't valid.
Also, if element
only contains those 6 properties (name
, phone
, email
...), then you can simplify the resolve further with something like this:
resolve(Object.assign({},element,{exists}))
This will make a shallow clone of the object and add the exists
property to it
