Help with async/await

I have multiple items in a repeater and I want to add them to a database together

While I am able to insert them click by click (one item per click) I want to be able to add all of them with one click

Using this but to no avail:

export async function send_click(event, $w) {
 
 let toInsert = $w("#dataset1").getCurrentItem();
 while ($w("#dataset1").getCurrentItem());
 await wixData.insert("SurveysSent", toInsert) //inserts the item
    .then( (results) => {
        console.log("done adding item")
    } )
    .catch( (err) => {
 let errorMsg = err;
    } );
}

Hey shan,

Some issues:

  • you don’t use await with .then() - use one or the other

  • you weren’t advancing through the items
    Try this:

export async function send_click(event, $w) {
   let count = $w("#dataset1").getTotalCount();
   let results = await $w("#dataset1").getItems(0, count);
   let items = results.items;
   for(var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
      const res = await wixData.insert("SurveysSent", items[i]);
   }  
}

I hope this helps,

Yisrael

Thank you so much Yisrael. Sorry for bothering you

Javascript is such a vast subject, Its very difficult for someone like me with no computer programming background to find solutions to all my questions alone.

Really really appreciate your help here.

Have a good day :slight_smile:

Hey shan,

Glad I could help. Keep in mind that we can’t always provide code solutions - but we’re here to provide guidance and direction. Keep up the good work.
