How to set variable outside axios get [duplicate]

Answer 1

You should return the promise instead.

getNameById (id) {
  return axios.get('/names/?ids=' + id)
      .then(response => {
        this.response = response.data
        return this.response[0].name
      })
  }

and use it:

getNameById(someId)
  .then(data => {
    // here you can access the data
  });
