I am using a Graphql API to access my DynamoDB database. I am then trying to render the list of users in my app. According to the docs I should use:

import * as queries from './graphql/queries';

const users = await API.graphql({ query: queries.listUsers });
console.log(users);

However, I get an error regarding the await. So I removed the await key word, but const users = API.graphql({ query: queries.listUsers }); returns the promise. This is the response:

Promise {
  "_U": 0,
  "_V": 0,
  "_W": null,
  "_X": null,
}

I put my code into an async function and used the await keyword and still only got the promise. Is there a way to simply call the query and without the await and get the correct data instead of the promise? I have also been trying to use the GraphQLResult to get the actual result, but that isn't working, I am either getting errors or I am still getting the promise.
