Async function returns [object Promise]

Question

I\'m trying to return an async function but I either get promise: < { PENDING } > or [object Promise] instead of [object Object]

Answer 1

I solved this by adding an await to the top level getNext() aka

const next = await getNext({
  page,
  value,
  name,
  id,
});

which is inside an async router.post call. So the answer is: make sure all functions are async all the way to the top so that they wait for eachother.
