In my code, I have an async function that returns a promise.I am aware that this question has been asked before, however none of the solutions worked.
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
async function getData() {
const response = await fetch(url);
return (await response.json());
}
getData().then( // wait until data fetched is finished
console.log(getData())
)
Thank you in advance
I think you're just getting a little bit confused with the syntax of the .then() callback.
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
async function getData() {
const response = await fetch(url);
return (await response.json());
}
getData().then(data => { // Notice the change here
console.log(data)
// Now within this block, "data" is a completely normal variable
// use it as you wish
})
Remove the useless await and just pass a reference to console.log as the Promise callback:
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
async function getData() {
const response = await fetch(url);
return response.json();
}
getData().then(console.log);
If you don't have more control flow in getData, you might not need async/await at all:
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
function getData() {
return fetch(url).then(x => x.json());
}
getData().then(console.log);
