I'm trying to extract information from a Promise returned by a fetch call. I don't seem to be able to do this. Either I get an undefined or I get another Promise, rather then the actual content of the promise itself. For example:

     async function fetchCoordinates(pluscode) {
       let response = await fetch(url.replace("${pluscode}", pluscode));
       return await response.json();
     }
     
     function getCoordinates(pluscode) {
       let geoinfo;
       fetchCoordinates(pluscode).then(info => {geoinfo = info})
       return geoinfo
     }
   
     geoinfo = getCoordinates("{{ place.pluscode }}");

When evaluated, geoinfo is undefined (instead of an object). However, if I change this line:

fetchCoordinates(pluscode).then(info => {geoinfo = info})

to:

fetchCoordinates(pluscode).then(info => {console.log(info)})

Then the object is saved logged correctly to the console.
