I'm trying to do something like this:
const axios = require('axios');
function load() {
const response = axios.get('https://...');
return response.data;
}
I can't make my function async. I need it to be declared exactly this way and return the data loaded from the URL via GET request.
Well you can try using XMLhttprequest:
const XMLHttpRequest = require("xmlhttprequest").XMLHttpRequest;
function syncRequest(url) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", url, false);
xhr.send(null);
return xhr.responseText;
}
(() => {
const res = syncRequest("https://api.github.com/users/octocat");
})();
It will block until it receives an response
You will need to install the XMLHttprequest package:
suggestion: using async await
const axios = require('axios');
async function load() {
const response = await axios.get('https://...');
...
}
