Trying to make post request then get request-CodePudding

In my code, I want to create a user (partner) and then after the post request has finished completely, get all the partners from an api (including the one just created) then access the Id of that partner to use in the rest of my code.

*PartnerName is also equal to whatever the user puts inside the form that posts here

    await axios
      .post(newPartnerUrl, { Name: PartnerName }, options)
      .then(async () => {
        const partnersRes = await axios.get(getPartnersUrl, options);
        const partners: IPartner[] = partnersRes.data;
        partners.map((partner: IPartner) => {
          if (partner.Name === PartnerName) {
            partnerId = partner.Id
          }
        });
      });

    const PartnerId = partnerId

This is the code, if you could help make it work and/or more efficient that would be much appreciated :)

I'd suggest that you should fully use async/await instead of mixing it with then. After that, you can use find to get the latest partner according to PartnerName.

async function addPartner() {
    await axios.post(newPartnerUrl, { Name: PartnerName }, options);

    const partnersRes = await axios.get(getPartnersUrl, options);
    const partners: IPartner[] = partnersRes.data;
    //find the newly added partner
    const newPartner = partners.find((partner: IPartner) => partner.Name === PartnerName);

    const PartnerId = newPartner.id

    //TODO: You can do something else with the newly added partner
}

Found a workaround, turns out the partner wasn't being added to the database at the time of the get request so I've added a timeout for 2 seconds which allows the partner time to be added.

for anyone with this issue as well here is the code

function delay(n){
    return new Promise(function(resolve){
        setTimeout(resolve,n*1000);
    });
}
