Hello, so I am experiencing a problem in my javascript app where I cannot stop a user spamming a button. The app is used to draw three random numbers from a range. when a button is clicked, a number is drawn and a special animation plays, then the next number can be drawn. I am having trouble preventing the user from spamming the draw button. So far I have tried using a local variable called enabled which is set to false when the animation is playing and checked to be true before the actual animation function executes (its set back to false after it executes). I have also tried to remove and add the event listener of the button dynamically when it is pressed. Is there any way you guys think I can solve the issue? Thank you. The code should be in an image with the post.
For your own sanity, please use a formatter for your IDE. This will also help when others (and you) read the code, as indentation is a convenience for understanding program flow. From what I see:
enableanddisablefunctions are never called for this portion of codeenabledvariable, if so it never passes scopes between thehandleClickandanimationmethodsawaitforinvokeorupdateCurrentBox, causing all the code after either to immediately run. As a result,enabledis neverfalse, since it just instantly flips back totrue. I'm not sure what libraryinvokeis from, but there should be a callback or the function returns aPromisewhich can beawaited.
