global variable about sharepointplus

Hi,

Actually, the requests are asynchronous. So it means you cannot return a value. You need to think differently. For example :

var value="";
$SP().list("list").get(function(data) {
  if (data.length===1) value = data[0].getAttribute("Title");
  getValue()
});

function getValue() {
  console.log(value);
}

I see...is there a way to control the asynchronous option similar to $SPServices? I've been using $SPServices prior which has a way to send request where async : false. I am enjoying your library because of the low overhead of making list requests in addition to other benefits. I will approach this particular item differently and wrap my events inside the SP+ call.

I've noticed in other posts that you reference $SPServices, do you typically use $SharepointPlus and $SPServices together?

Thanks for the prompt response!

Previously I had the synchronous option, but then it makes no sense to keep it, because it's a very bad way to program (the HTTP requests are asynchronous, and it's dangerous to have them synchronous because all your program will freeze until the request is completed).
So I really recommand you to think differently your code!

You can change this behavior using $.ajaxSetup() from jQuery (set 'async' to false). But read what they said on their website:

The first letter in Ajax stands for "asynchronous," meaning that the operation occurs in parallel and the order of 
completion is not guaranteed. The async option to $.ajax() defaults to true, indicating that code execution can 
continue after the request is made. Setting this option to false (and thus making the call no longer asynchronous) 
is strongly discouraged, as it can cause the browser to become unresponsive.

Regarding your question: yes you can use SPService and SharepointPlus all together. That can be useful if something is available in SPService but not in SharepointPlus.

I hope it helps.

Yes it does...thanks for the reference. This has enlighten how ajax is utilized.
