I have a text.txt file and I want to save its content in a variable. My problem is that I can log the text but I can't store it in a var
let fileText;
fetch("./text.txt")
.then(response => response.text())
.then(text => fileText = text);
console.log(fileText); // undefinedThe console.log will be executed before the fetch promise resolved.
If you want line-by-line syntax execution you can use async/await.
let fileText;
(async () => {
const response = await fetch("./text.txt")
const text = await response.text()
fileText = text;
console.log(fileText);
})()
