findbyid and before save

[Claudio]

Hi all,

I'd like to save a copy of a model instance as a new instance of another model BEFORE to delete the former and I used the standard hook:

Thing.observe("before delete", function (ctx, next) {
    console.log("BEFORE delete");

    var id = ctx.where.id;

    Thing.findById(id, function (err, element) {
      if (element)
        console.log("COPY NOW");
      next();
    });

    next();
  });

but I'm fighting with asynchronous methods. How I can ensure to invoke next() only inside the callback of findById ??

Many thanks!

Claudio

Have you tried just removing your call to next() that is outside of the findById callback? That should be all that is required, if I understand your question correctly.
