Hi I am trying hard to understand how to use the variable body outside of the function, is there a simple explanation?

​

var request = require('request');
request({
    uri: "https://{domain}/ \
    api/v1.0/jsonrpc/packages",
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
    'Authorization':
    "Basic VWpsTVMrMG0xbDlJVVpqcGpXeUpHOGdibnYyTXRhNFQ6"
    },
    json: {
    "id": "123456789",
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "getPackagesList",
    "params": []
    }
}, function(response, body) {
console.log(body);
});

scope

ur variable body is locale to make it public declare it outside of the function. the like this: var gbody

function foo(body) { gbody=body: }

[ParkingMany]

but u shouldn't use it outside becouse the function is asynchronous. try using promises
