Trying to perform a basic async/await in NodeJS but it is still going out of order.
Code I am trying to run:
var fs = require('fs');
var stringData;
async function find(context) {
try {
let text = await readFile('./sql/test.sql', context);
} catch (e) {
console.log('Try/Catch Error: ' + e)
}
console.log('display')
console.log('display ' + JSON.stringify(text))
return
}
async function readFile(file, context) {
new Promise((resolve) => {
fs.readFile(file, (error, data) => {
if (error) {
throw error;
}
stringData = data.toString()
}),
(err) => {
console.log('ERROR: ' + JSON.stringify(err));
}, () => {
resolve(1);
}
})
};
module.exports.find = find;When I run the above I get an undefined results for the console.log for text.
I am expecting text to use the await to populate before moving down to the console logs.
Looks like you are not resolving the promise with the result you get from data.toString();
you need to add resolve(stringData)
PS. In the error handler you are using resolve, you should probably be using reject there
