This seems to be one of those cases where async/await doesn’t buy you much. You still need to return a result from the async function, which will return a promise to the caller. You can do that with something like:
async function getData() {
try {
let res = await axios({
url: 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1',
method: 'get',
timeout: 8000,
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}
})
if(res.status == 200){
// test for status you want, etc
console.log(res.status)
}
// Don't forget to return something
return res.data
}
catch (err) {
console.error(err);
}
}
getData()
.then(res => console.log(res))<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/axios/0.18.0/axios.js"></script>But in this example, since you don’t need to do much in the actual function with the result, you’re probably better off just returning axios’s promise:
function getDataPromise() {
return axios({
url: 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1',
method: 'get',
timeout: 8000,
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}
})
.then(res => res.data)
.catch (err => console.error(err))
}
getDataPromise()
.then(res => console.log(res))<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/axios/0.18.0/axios.js"></script>
