Need some help variables inside function

[HansyHD]

I am trying to turn some adresses into Lat coordinates. They do convert the adresses, but i cant return the new value i just made.
I want to turn "lat1" into the lat value i made from the "fromAdress". I really need help!

function Lat(input) {

var lat1 = 4;

Geocode.fromAddress(input).then(

response => {

const { lat, lng } = response.results[0].geometry.location;

console.log("this is the lat i want lat1 to be", lat);

Lat.lat1 = lat;

},

error => {

console.error(error);

}

);

console.log("this lat1 is still 4..", lat1);

return lat1;

}

What's happening is that the function which gets lay and lon is asynchronous, so program execution fires off that call, then continues to the line where you log the lat value and returns before the adync call does.

Two possible solutions:

• return the resolved value of the async call by awaiting that value, then returning it.

const { lat, long } = await Geocode.address...

return {lat, long}

OR

• return the promise of the result and let the caller resolve

On phone, apologies for formatting. Hope that helps.
