Mates. I don't know why but I tried all the day long but couldn't get it to work. By the help of your comments I tried again and it of course does work.

db.js:

const pool = mysql.createPool(config);

exports.getConnection = () => {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        pool.getConnection(function (err, connection) {
            if (err) {
                return reject(err);
            }
            resolve(connection);
        });
    });
};

someWhereElse.js:

const db = require('./db');

const wrappingFunction = async () => {
    const connection = await db.getConnection();
    console.log(connection);
};
wrappingFunction();
