I've created a function to get the current user's data from the Reddit API, as part of a Reddit object with multiple functions.
async getCurrentUserId() {
if (userID) return userID;
const token = await Reddit.getAccessToken().then(val => {
return val;
})
const url = "https://oauth.reddit.com/api/v1/me"
const headers = {
"Authorization": `Bearer ${token}`,
"User-Agent": "blablabla",
};
const response = await fetch(url, { headers: headers });
if (response.ok) {
const jsonResponse = await response.json();
return jsonResponse.name;
}
},
However, when I try and extract the data, I keep getting a promise rather than the resolved value, and I can't seem to be able to figure it out.
const userID = Reddit.getCurrentUserId().then(val => {
return val;
}) // returns "Promise {<pending>}"
Assistance with this would be appreciated.
You either need to do your logic inside .then(), or simplify by using await:
const token = await Reddit.getAccessToken();
...
const userID = await Reddit.getCurrentUserId();
