Alternating messages on chatbot creation-CodePudding

I'm doing a chatbot with Node JS for Instagram using this library available on github(https://github.com/Androz2091/insta.js.git). I'm currently testing the feature through the online replit platform, I'm getting the message from the instagram user and sending it through a url to the reply service

I have a difficulty that would be the bot's answer. It must follow a message structure, however, this structure is often toggled.

I send in the chat:

-Hi

The bot responds in the console:

-Hello!

-How can I help you?

but in the chat he responds like this:

-How can I help you?

-Hello!

Below is the code I used to go through the arrays I receive and send the messages

I tried using a switch case to try to solve the problem, but it still remains the same.

node-fetch(`instagram?mensage=${message}&user=${message.author.fullName}&session=${client.user}`)
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(json => {
    for (var i = 0; i < json.length; i  ) {


      message.chat.sendMessage(json[i].text || json[i].title);
      console.log(json[i].text || json[i].title)


      for (var key in json[i]) {

      /* switch case
     switch(json[i][key]){
       case json[i].text:
        message.chat.sendMessage(json[i].text);
        break;
       case json[i].title:
        message.chat.sendMessage(json[i].title);
        break;
      }*/

        if (json[i][key].length == 3) {
          for (var j = 0; j < json[i][key].length; j  ) {

            message.chat.sendMessage(json[i][key][j].label);
            console.log(json[i][key][j].label);

          }
        }

Does anyone know why this happens? I already thank you.

CodePudding user response：

sendMessage returns Promise, but you are using it as a normal function.

You can read about javascript promises here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Using_promises.

In your code, it should look something like this

...
.then(async json => {
    for (var i = 0; i < json.length; i  ) {
        await message.chat.sendMessage(json[i].text || json[i].title);
        ...
    }
});
