Using JSON to populate audioData?

[ryandeming]

Hi, I'm trying to use JSON to populate the audioData in audioAssets, but I can't seem to get it to work.

I'm using the request module, with this code

var request = require('request');

var episodes = [];
var titles = [];

request.get('http://mywebsite/json.asp', function (error, response, body) {
	if(error) {
		console.log(error);
	}
    if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
        var podcasts = JSON.parse(body);

	    for(var i = 0; i < podcasts.length; i++) {
            episodes[i] = podcasts[i].episode_mp3.toString();
	titles[i] = podcasts[i].podcast_name.toString() + ' Episode ' + podcasts[i].episode_number.toString() + ' ' + podcasts[i].episode_title.toString();
          }
		
    }
	
});

I can run this code in the index file and console.log episodes[i] and titles[i] and it outputs all the correct information. Any reason this wouldn't work within the audioAssest file? I think it's an issue with timing, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

To be honest, I don't remember. It had something to do with async functions if I recall correctly. Maybe try using a promise?
