How to Return a Resolved Value from an Async Function Within Another Async Function?

How to return a value from an async function?

In the provided code, the init() method returns a Promise, but the getPostById() method is trying to access the value returned by the Promise directly. To resolve this, the init() method needs to be modified to return the value of getPostById() after the Promise is resolved.

Here is the updated code:

class Posts {
  constructor(url) {
    this.ready = false
    this.data = {}
    this.url = url
  }
  async init() {
      try { 
        let res = await fetch( this.url )
        if (res.ok) {
            let data = await res.json()

          // Do bunch of transformation stuff here

          this.data = data
          this.ready = true
          return this.getPostById(4)  // Return the value of getPostById()
        }
      } 
      catch (e) { 
         console.log(e)
      }
  }
  getPostById(id){
     return this.data.find( p => p.id === id )
  }
}  

Now, the myFunc function can be written as follows:

let myFunc = async () => {
   const postId = 4
   await allPosts.init()  // I need to wait for this to finish before returning

   // This is logging correct value
   console.log( 'logging: '   JSON.stringify(allPosts.getPostById( postId ), null, 4) )

   // Return the RESULT of allPosts.getPostById( postId ) ???
   return await allPosts.getPostById( postId )
}

This code will correctly return the value of getPostById().
