The sendJoke function automates the process of fetching two jokes and posting them as separate Facebook messages within a designated browser window using Selenium WebDriver.

Run example

npm run import -- "send a joke"

send a joke


function sendJoke(client, hwnd) {
    var joke;
    return client
        .then(() => getJoke())
        .then(r => joke = r)
        .switchToWindow(hwnd)
        .then(() => sendFacebookMessage(joke[0]))
        .pause(20000)
        .then(() => sendFacebookMessage(joke[1]))
}
module.exports = sendJoke;

What the code could have been:

/**
 * Sends a joke to a client using Facebook Messenger.
 * 
 * @param {Client} client - The client object with methods for sending messages.
 * @param {number} hwnd - The handle of the window to switch to.
 * @returns {Promise} A promise that resolves when the joke has been sent.
 */
async function sendJoke(client, hwnd) {
    // Get a joke from the joke retrieval service
    const [joke1, joke2] = await getJokes();
    
    // Switch to the window and send the jokes
    await client.switchToWindow(hwnd);
    await sendFacebookMessage(client, joke1);
    await sendFacebookMessage(client, joke2);
}

// Refactored to use async/await for better readability
async function getJokes() {
    // Assume this is the implementation of getJoke() with a minor refactor
    // to return an array of jokes
    try {
        const jokes = await getJoke();
        return [jokes[0], jokes[1]];
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error fetching jokes:', error);
        throw error;
    }
}

// Refactored to use async/await for better readability
async function sendFacebookMessage(client, message) {
    try {
        // Send the message using the client
        await client.sendMessage(message);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error sending message:', error);
        throw error;
    }
}

module.exports = sendJoke;
