I have a class called PhotoTags that has a function called getScalePercent(). In getScalePercent I do a simple calculation involving the width and height of a displayed image, and return a value. In the render function of PhotoTags I use coordinate data to apply elements over a photo. This logic works fine only if the image has been loaded 100%. If I refresh the page enough times I can see that my logic is in fact setting the coordinates properly but only once the image has either been cached, or loaded quickly. Therefore I want to use imagesLoaded to check if the image has loaded, inorder to use the coordinates effectively.
My function looks like this:
getScalePercent(){
var p =0;
var targetWidth = $('.expanded-image').width();
var targetHeight = $('.expanded-image').height();
p = (targetWidth / 1920);
return p;
}
And in my render function I am trying to use imagesLoaded to check if the image has been loaded before using getScalePercent():
render(){
var p = 0;
$('.expanded-image').imagesLoaded().done( function() {
p = this.getScalePercent();
});
console.log(p); //But value is still 0
//I then want to use p later in the render function
My variable p is not being manipulated within the .done event of imagesLoaded. I know it has something to do with asynchronous calls and what not, and I have tried putting imagesLoaded in getScalePercent() but to no avail. I have also tried doing a callback to getScalePercent() and many other variations but still to no avail. Basically what I want to do is fire getScalePercent() inside the .done() event of imagesLoaded. I then want to be able to use the value that getScalePercent() returns (when the image is fully loaded) inside the render function of PhotoTags. Any help is much appreciated.
