How to return data from promise [duplicate]

by

One of the fundamental principles behind a promise is that it’s handled asynchronously. This means that you cannot create a promise and then immediately use its result synchronously in your code (e.g. it’s not possible to return the result of a promise from within the function that initiated the promise).

What you likely want to do instead is to return the entire promise itself. Then whatever function needs its result can call .then() on the promise, and the result will be there when the promise has been resolved.

Here is a resource from HTML5Rocks that goes over the lifecycle of a promise, and how its output is resolved asynchronously:
