Node.js introduced async await in 7.6 so this makes Javascript more beautiful.
var results = [];
var config = JSON.parse(queries);
for (var key in config) {
var query = config[key].query;
results.push(await search(query));
}
res.writeHead( ... );
res.end(results);
For this to work search fucntion has to return a promise or it has to be async function
If it is not returning a Promise you can help it to return a Promise
function asyncSearch(query) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
search(query,(result)=>{
resolve(result);
})
})
}
Then replace this line await search(query); by await asyncSearch(query);
