    Hi, 

    How can I get the moveEnd to wait until a promise is resolved before ending completing?

    Currently I have the following:

    moveEnd: function(e) {
      if (!isEventValid(e.start, e.end)) {
        e.preventDefault();
        return false;
      }
     
      $.when(getAssistance(e.event, e.start, e.end))
        .done(function() {
          window.location = "/new-url";
        }).
        fail(function() {
          // 1
          e.preventDefault();
          return false;
        });
    }

     

    (I dont know how to get out of this editor)

    My problem is that the 'moveEnd' completes before the promise is complete. If the Promise resolved and the user redirected, its a non-issue, but if the promise is rejected, the move needs to be prevented.

    Please advise, Thanks,
    Grant

    Hi Grant,

    I am afraid that you won't be able to wait until the promise has been resolved to determine whether the moveEnd event should be prevented or not. That is why I would suggest you a different approach. If the promise fails, instead of using the preventDefault() call you could directly re-set the event start and end dates. To do that you should handle the moveEnd event in the following way:
    moveEnd: function(e) {
      var initialStart = e.event.start;
      var initialEnd = e.event.end;
      var event = e.event;
     
      $.when(getAssistance(e.event, e.start, e.end))
        .done(function() {
        window.location = "/new-url";
      }).
      fail(function() {
        // 1
        event.set('start', initialStart);
        event.set('end', initialEnd);
        return false;
      });
    }
