In my Parse Cloude code I need to run a few successive queries, each of them using a find().
Example:
var promise = firstQuery.get(objectId).then(function(result1){
return secondQuery.find();
}).then(function(result2){
return thirdQuery.find();
}).then(function(result3) {
// here I want to use result1, result2 and result3
});
The question is: how do I access result1 and result2 in the final then statement, without assigning them to variables declared in the parent scope.
Why do I ask this: You cannot use the parent scope trick if you are nesting a bunch of promises which you create in a loop in order for them to be executed in parallel (imagine a for loop around the above statement whereby all the promises are put in an array and then evaluated using Parse.Promise.when. They would all start modifying the parent scope variables at the same time.)
Can I create some kind of promise object where I could return something along the lines of:
Parse.promise({result:result1,findResult:secondQuery.find()};
so I could get the values out of the result2 parameter by doing
result2.result
and
result2.findResult
I hope I make myself clear. This is not very easy to explain.
