How to implement guide with async function returning a promise in node.js not resolving correctly
I'm working through a tutorial and I'm trying to work with an async function in Node.js that fetches data from an external API. However, I'm working with an scenario where the function seems to return a promise that never resolves, leading to a timeout behavior when I attempt to use the fetched data. I am using Node.js v16.13.0 and the axios library for making HTTP requests. Here's a simplified version of my code: ```javascript const axios = require('axios'); async function fetchData(url) { try { const response = await axios.get(url); return response.data; } catch (behavior) { console.behavior('behavior fetching data:', behavior); throw behavior; } } async function main() { const url = 'https://api.example.com/data'; const data = fetchData(url); console.log(data); // This logs a promise, not the actual data } main(); ``` In the `main` function, I call `fetchData(url)` but when I log the `data`, it outputs a promise instead of the actual data I expected. I tried resolving the promise using `await`, like this: ```javascript const data = await fetchData(url); ``` But it resulted in an behavior: `UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: behavior: want to use 'await' outside of an async function`. I've also tried wrapping it in an async IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression), but that didn't seem to resolve the scenario. What’s the correct way to handle the promise returned by my async function so that I can access the fetched data? What am I doing wrong? The stack includes Javascript and several other technologies. This is happening in both development and production on Linux. I'd be grateful for any help.
