The idea:
I want to return a variable from a function and then output it using console.log().
The problem:
I can't just use return result because then nothing is returned.
I don`t really know how else to return the variable.
I have already looked at SO posts like this one, however I probably lack suitable understanding to implement this into my code.
The current code
function getPassword(username) {
const password = keytar.getPassword(service, username) // Function from keytar lib
password.then((result) => {
console.log(result) // Prints password
return result // Doesn't return anything
})
}
pw = getPassword("Name")
// Exemplary, will be replaced by display in Div
console.log(pw) // Outputs "undefined"
function getPassword(username) {
const password = keytar.getPassword(service, username) // Function from keytar lib
// don't forget to return promise
return password.then((result) => {
console.log(result) // Prints password
return result // Doesn't return anything
})
}
getPassword("Name").then(result => console.log(result))
