this may sound very easy to few of you, but i am not able to figure out why I am not able to get the return value, even after chceking many posts :(
function getMessageCount() {
var count;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://localhost:43390" + "/services/DiscussionWidgetService.asmx/GetMessageCount",
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (data) {
count = data.d;
} //success
});
return count;
}
Now if I call var count = getMessageCount(); it gives me undefinted :( while inside the method count is coming correct, i.e. service is working fine.
That's because the $.ajax() call is asynchronous.
If you edit your code to something like:
function getMessageCount(callback) {
var count;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://localhost:43390" + "/services/DiscussionWidgetService.asmx/GetMessageCount",
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (data) {
count = data.d;
if(typeof callback === "function") callback(count);
} //success
});
}
Then when you call it:
getMessageCount(function(count){
console.log(count);
});
