chrome.runtime.onMessage response with async await

Question

I want to use async await in an onMessage listener:

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(async (request, sender, sendResponse) =>{
    var key = await getKey(         


        

Answer 1

you could try this

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((request, sender, sendResponse) => {
  new Promise(async send => {
     

    var key = await getKey();
    send(key);


  }).then(sendResponse)
  return true;
});
