I am making an API call to the yelp-fusion. However, when I try to log this result, the log shows as undefined. I assume this is due to something regarding promises or async functions. Note: I need to keep this in a function as I intend to export this function to other files.
const searchRequest = {
term:'cafe',
location: 'san francisco, ca'
};
const client = yelp.client(apiKey);
function businessSearch(search){
client.search(search).then(response => {
return response
}).catch(e => {
console.log(e);
});
}
console.log(businessSearch(searchRequest))
I think you are handling the promise correctly here. However, you are not returning anything from the function, then when you console log its output you should get undefined.
Try this:
function businessSearch(search){
return client.search(search).then(response => {
return response
}).catch(e => {
console.log(e);
});
}
console.log(businessSearch(searchRequest))
