need help making get resource work using ESPAsyncWebServer

By seaurchin
- Sun May 24, 2020 5:19 pm #87277 I am noob trying to use ESPAsyncWebServer.h,

in a serving a rest api that returns wifi hotspots.

Code: Select allString* getWifiHotspots() {
//  String* arr = new String[];
  String arr[100];
  Serial.print("Scan start ... ");
  int n = WiFi.scanNetworks();
  for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
  {
    arr[i] = WiFi.SSID(i).c_str();
  }
  return arr;
}


But when in the setup function I try to setup server resource like this:

Code: Select all     ap_server.on("/hotspots",HTTP_GET, [](AsyncWebServerRequest * request) {
        request->send_P(200, "text/plain", getWifiHotspots);
        });


I am getting this error

Code: Select all/libraries/ESPAsyncWebServer/src/ESPAsyncWebServer.h:244:10: note: void AsyncWebServerRequest::send_P(int, const String&, const char*, AwsTemplateProcessor)
     void send_P(int code, const String& contentType, PGM_P content, AwsTemplateProcessor callback=nullptr);

Code: Select all#include <Arduino.h>

const char* ap_password = "0123456789";

// Create AsyncWebServer object on port 8080
AsyncWebServer ap_server(80);

greatly appreciate if you can help me make it work ;)
