Cancel doc saving after a callback

ERPNext
1

Hello Team,

I’m trying to validate the doc just after making an API call and according the result I must decide if allow to save or not the doc.

My question is:

How can I prevent the doc to be saved after my callback. My API call is async, so I can’t prevent it, the doc will be saved anyway.

I share my code:

frappe.ui.form.on('Delivery Note', {
validate(frm) {
        if(frm.doc.contact_tax_id == null || frm.doc.contact_tax_id === '') {
        frappe.confirm('My question before continue...',
            () => {
                frappe.validated = true;
            },
            () =>  {
                frappe.validated = false;
            });
        }
}
});

Thank you in advance.

You can use the async param of frappe.call if you are using it to do the api call and set it to false. I don’t know if this can help you. I’m not seeing the call in your code.

Thank you @Nahuel_Nso.

Yes. It’s other code but same situation. I have to wait for user reply to decide if I will allow the doc to be saved or not, it’s a kind of callback.

You can use frappe.throw(__("ERROR")) instead of frappe.validated = false;

But ERPNext won’t wait for my user callback. It will keep running, that’s why I’m not able to prevent the doc to be saved. If I throw an exc before the user’s reply then I won’t be able to allow the doc to be saved.

I will resume my problem with this code:

frappe.ui.form.on('Delivery Note', {
    validate(frm) {
        frappe.confirm('Would you like to take a final review?',
           () => {
               // Yes
               // Allow the user to check again and cancel saving...
                frappe.validated = false;
            },
            () =>  {
                // No
                // Go a save.
                frappe.validated = true;
            });
        }
    }
});

Then you should try to overwrite the primary action of the form. With something like cur_frm.page.set_primary_action and invoque validate or save inside it.
