[SOLVED] Cannot do Asynchronous Programming in a Function
I have turned the default function to async but still even after using await the code does not wait at
TypeScript
otpData = await database.getDocument(//credentials)
// as the code does not await this, the line below causes an error
// error:: connot read the otp of undefined
otp = otpData.data['otp']
Please do help how am I to tackle such a scenario
TL;DR
The user encountered an error when trying to perform asynchronous programming in a function. They mentioned that the problem is solved, but did not provide any specific solution. Another user suggested that the issue might be due to a `getDocument` function that returns data inside a `data` property. They recommended logging the `otpData` variable to verify the data structure. The user then shared an example code snippet showing how to await the `getDocument` function and access the `otp` value. The user is seeking further help on how to handle this scenario.
Solution: It is recommended to ensure that the `getDocument` function is returning the
I'm sure that getDocument returns the data inside data property.
Try to logout the otpData variable to see what you're getting back.
From what I've seen it should be something like this.
TypeScript
otpData = await database.getDocument(//credentials)
otp = otpData['otp']
