.When() and .done() using an array with .done

Question

I am writing a google content script and my program needs to make roughly 30 AJAX calls to the server. I am using JQuery\'s .when function in conjunction with .apply to pas

Answer 1

I'm fairly new to the deferred stuff (and jQuery in general), but my helper function below seems to work. None of the requests depend on each other for data. I'll probably write a similar helper function to handle chained requests, which will have to use .then().

function sendRequests(requests, callbacks) {
    $.when(...requests).done(function(...results) {
            results.forEach(function(result, index) {
                    callbacks[index](JSON.parse(result[0]));
        });
    });
}

function req1Callback(data) {
    // do something with data object
}

var req1 = $.get(), // arguments omitted
    req2 = $.get(),
    req3 = $.get();

sendRequests([ req1, req2, req3 ], [ req1Callback, req2Callback, req3Callback ]);
