Ajax call inside for loop issue and solution


Hello people, This post is regarding real day to day issue in coding and its resolution, It sometimes looks small issue but when it starts eating your time you start getting feeling that its no more smaller one, Here goes the issue

As the title of the blog suggests, When you are making AJAX calls inside loop, It is finitely possible that inside loop when the call is made, It takes time to get the result back to client side and by that time loop has already ended and counter has reached to limit and you end up thinking how to keep track of the request, it should get the correct index in "Success" method of $.ajax call, Otherwise it will keep on giving you one count higher than your total count of loop, There can be many way as we know in our world but below is one of the good solution to it

Solutions
See below code for an example

for (var i = 0; i < groupCount.length; i++) 
{
                !function (i) {
                    $.ajax({
                        type: 'POST',
                        url: ,
                        data: data,
                        dataType: "json",
                        success: function (respons) {
                            // Do some action
                            
                        },
                        error: function (err, para1, parra2) {
                           // Do some action 
                        }
                    });
                } (i);

Here we can see we have wrapped the ajax call into !function(), It will make sure that your ajax call works, no matter what !!!, One more dirty fix is that we can change the property called async=false in $.ajax parameters but that does not serve the purpose as when we use ajax it has to be async.

Small but helpful !!!

    1. If there are two ajax calls you need to tweak them, so just like one call you need to change the function for two calls

Why SitecoreAI - Getting into the shoes of the customer how to select right CMS

Hi Team, Lately, I have been talking to lot of our customers / potential customers and having pre-sales demos where one question always comes is "Why Sitecore" ?  Now this question can be for any product which is out for sell. And as a technician I always get into product technical features, but at the same time as a pre-sales guy, it also makes me think, surely all competitive products have same features, so definitely answer to this is not in the technicalities.  If you step back and think, we are also a customer in our daily life and buy lot of things, what is that process we go through? When we buy, how can your customer decide if this is a right fit for you or not, why we select A over B? Is it price? is it service? Is it a brand? Is it about features? Is it about brand loyalty?  When it is a technical product, I am sure it cannot start with the technicalities of the product or selecting product itself, 100% not, I feel decision is always business strategy first and ...

Zero to Hero - A real life RCA of exact issue in Sitecore Managed Cloud environment

Hello All, The purpose of today's post is to share a real life burning and escalated scenario which was new to me and how did I approach it and how big the escalations were and what was the outcome Sitecore's goodwill was at stack not because Sitecore is not capable of handling it but just because our environment was Sitecore Managed Cloud, and any issue that comes if its infra, back end code, front end code will be first pointed as Sitecore issue and that is where our consultancy and experience will play a role to prove that it is not Sitecore issue.  Issue we faced Out of the blue our site started giving "504 Gateway Time-out", and it was reported that almost everyone is getting this error, but when we used to browse the site, everything looked good and never 504. 504 Gateway Time-out error tells that, That the request went to Content Delivery servers of Sitecore from gateway, but gateway did not get response in time from those CDs and hence it gave time out error. ...
