You can’t do this as you imagine, because you can’t use await
if it is not directly inside an async
function.
The sensible thing to do here would be to make the function passed to map
asynchronous. This means that map
would return an array of promises. We can then use Promise.all
to get the result when all the promises return. As Promise.all
itself returns a promise, the outer function does not need to be async
.
const someFunction = (myArray) => {
const promises = myArray.map(async (myValue) => {
return {
id: "my_id",
myValue: await service.getByValue(myValue)
}
});
return Promise.all(promises);
}
