How can I access the function return value that is within inside .then() promise in javascript
const verification =
twil.verificationChecks.create({
to: phone,
code: vcode
}).then((verify) => {
otp = verify.status; //twilio
// console.log(otp);
const user = finduser;
if (otp === "approved") { // otp approved
if (user) { //check phone
find(); //find user
return "user found"
} else {
add(); //add user
return "user added"
} //check phone
} // otp approved
});
console.log(verification) // this returns undefined
return verification // this returns [ object promise ]
You can use async...await syntax for this problem.
const verification = async () => {
const verify = await twil.verificationChecks.create({
to: phone,
code: vcode,
});
otp = verify.status; //twilio
// console.log(otp);
const user = finduser;
if (otp === 'approved') {
// otp approved
if (user) {
//check phone
find(); //find user
return 'user found';
} else {
add(); //add user
return 'user added';
} //check phone
} // otp approved
};
Even you can use event emitter to tackle this problem
let verifyData;
let ee = new EventEmitter(); //create new event to be called after data is available
const verification = () => {
twil.verificationChecks
.create({ to: phone, code: vcode })
.then((verify) => {
verifyData = verify;
ee.emit("dataFilled"); // Call event emitter
otp = verify.status; //twilio
// console.log(otp);
const user = finduser;
if (otp === "approved") {
// otp approved
if (user) {
//check phone
find(); //find user
return "user found";
} else {
add(); //add user
return "user added";
} //check phone
} // otp approved
});
};
ee.on("dataFilled", function () {
console.log(verifyData);
// Add you code here
});
It will do the same work as you are thinking..
let verifyData;
let ee = new EventEmitter(); //create new event to be called after data is available
const verification = () => {
twil.verificationChecks.create({ to: phone, code: vcode }).then((verify) => {
otp = verify.status; //twilio
// console.log(otp);
const user = finduser;
if (otp === "approved") {
// otp approved
if (user) {
//check phone
find(); //find user
verifyData = "user found";
} else {
add(); //add user
verifyData = "user added";
} //check phone
ee.emit("varificationDone"); // Call event emitter
} // otp approved
});
};
ee.on("varificationDone", function () {
switch (verifyData) {
case "user found":
// your code here
break;
case "user added":
// your code here
break;
default:
break;
}
});
