How to return values from async functions using async-await from function?
How can I return the value from an async function? I tried to like this const axios = require('axios'); async function getData() { const data = await axios.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts'); return data; } console.log(getData()); it returns me this, Promise { <pending> } You cant await something outside async scope. To get expected result you should wrap your console.log into async IIFE i.e async function getData() { return await axios.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts'); } (async () => { console.log(await getData()) })() Worked sample.
