[FIXED] How to send multiple messages synchronously?

Issue

I'm using a for-loop to send a large text (larger than 320 chars) in multiple messages, but they land in no-particular order:

var arr = ['this', 'is', 'a', 'string'];
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
  sendTextMessage(sender, arr[i]);
}

Could land as a, is, this, string, or any other combination. How do I force them to land in order?

Solution

I assume that you're using the code example from facebook that provides your sendTextMessage method. This one acts asynchronously since it uses request module (https://www.npmjs.com/package/request).

If you want to do synchronous calls - means one after another - you've to use another module, e.g. https://github.com/dhruvbird/http-sync
