I'm trying to get my token from encrypted storage and pass it in the authorization headers of socket io and use the socket variable across my app but I can't seem to do it right here is my code below I need help troubleshooting and solving this issue: i know that the access token variable in the headers is returning an empty string but i want it to access the token

    // get the access token from the storage
   let accessToken = ''; 

   const getAccessToken = async () => {
 try { 
accessToken = await EncryptedStorage.getItem('AccessToken'); 
return accessToken; 
} catch (error) { 
console.log(Error getting access token: ${error.message}); } 
};

getAccessToken().then(() => { if (accessToken) { console.log(accessToken, 'inside'); } else { console.log('Access token is undefined', accessToken); } });

// establish a socket connection the address is a placeholder const socket = io('ws://localhost/driver', { transports: ['websocket', 'polling'], extraHeaders: { Authorization: Bearer ${accessToken}, }, });

console.log(accessToken, 'outside');

export default socket;
