I use getJSON to request a JSON from my website. It works great, but I need to save the output into another variable, like this:
var myjson= $.getJSON("http://127.0.0.1:8080/horizon-update", function(json) {
});
I need to save the result into myjson but it seems this syntax is not correct. Any ideas?
You can't get value when calling getJSON, only after response.
var myjson;
$.getJSON("http://127.0.0.1:8080/horizon-update", function(json){
myjson = json;
});
var myjson is not available on the very next line due to timing issues.
json data to proceed, you should call other code after setting myjson variable. As solution it could be like 'callbackFuncWithData' from Ravi answer OR just call another function.myjson declared outside. Just pass it to the callback as an argument.$.getJSon expects a callback functions either you pass it to the callback function or in callback function assign it to global variale.
var globalJsonVar;
$.getJSON("http://127.0.0.1:8080/horizon-update", function(json){
//do some thing with json or assign global variable to incoming json.
globalJsonVar=json;
});
IMO best is to call the callback function. which is nicer to eyes, readability aspects.
$.getJSON("http://127.0.0.1:8080/horizon-update", callbackFuncWithData);
function callbackFuncWithData(data)
{
// do some thing with data
}
$.getJSON. In that case you really would have to make a synchronous request.
var myjson=
