Get the value of a promise and assign to variable

Question

utility.fetchInfo() returns a Promise object. I need to be able to get the value of this Promise object and assign the value of it to a variable that I can then use

Answer 1

What @dhilt said but do your stuff inside the promise callback function:

utility.fetchInfo().then(result => { 
  doSomethingWith(result);
});

Or use async/await if you are using a recent version of Node or Babel:

async function myFunction () {
    var myVal = await utility.fetchInfo();
}
