GET and POST variable

mikaps7

When clicking the flic button, I want to have an HTTP makeRequest GET function, save some of the information in a global variable, and use this variable in an HTTP makeRequest POST function.

I am able to create a variable and change it during the GET function. However, the information is not saved and when I use the POST function, it uses the value the variable had during the initialization phase.

This is the code:
var runNumber = -1 // my global variable

buttonManager.on("buttonSingleOrDoubleClickOrHold", function(obj) {
var button = buttonManager.getButton(obj.bdaddr);
var clickType = obj.isSingleClick ? "click" : obj.isDoubleClick ? "double_click" : "hold";

http.makeRequest({
	url: urlGet,
	method: "GET",
	headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json"},
}, function(err, res) {
	console.log("request status: " + res.statusCode);
	runNumber = 5 // changing the variable
});
	
http.makeRequest({
	url: urlPost,
	method: "POST",
	headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json"},
	content: JSON.stringify({"Units":15, "Run Number":runNumber}),		
}, function(err, res) {
	console.log("request status: " + res.statusCode);
});

The code above is not working the way I expected it to work. The run number in the post function stays -1 although I change it to 5 in the get function.

Please advise and thank you

@mikaps7 you execute the requests at the same time parallelly. If you want to execute the second request after the first has competed, you must initiate it in the callback of the first, or later.
