How to return a value instead of a [Object Promise]

Question

I have this code and want to return the string not to Promise, but I do not know how exactly to do, I tried to look at other solutions on the site but I could not apply them in my code. (I’m using the Aces)

async function traduzCategoria(texto)
{
    if (typeof texto === "undefined"){
        return "sem categoria";
    }

    let textoUrl = texto[0].replace(/ /gi, "+");
    textoUrl = texto[0].replace(/&/gi, "and");

    let urlYandex = "https://translate.yandex.net/api/v1.5/tr.json/translate?key=" + keyYandex 
        + "&text=" + textoUrl + "&lang=pt";

    let res = await axios.get(urlYandex)
                .then(function (response) {

                    let textoTraduzido = response.data.text[0];
                    return textoTraduzido;

                })
                .catch(function (erro) {
                    return "erro na categoria";
                })


    return res;
}

The function does not wait for the file to return the value.

Answer 1

You are using async/await syntax incorrectly. The correct would be:

try {
    const response = await axios.get(urlYandex);

    return response.data.text[0];
} catch(error) {
    return error;
}

If using the then/catch of Promise returned by Xios, remove the syntax of async/await, which was made exactly to make the code less verbose.

I’m available, see you later.
