#

how did you define fs?

#

oh wait nvm

#

misread

#

that fs is the callback async version, you can't extract data out of it

#

I just want to get an array out of it

#

been trying for hours

faint thunder Jul 31, 2023, 4:27 PM

#

use the synchronous, or preferably the promise async version instead

#

I used callback

#

yet didn't work

faint thunder Jul 31, 2023, 4:27 PM

faint thunder https://javascript.info/async

read through this to get an idea of promise async first

urban hare Jul 31, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

Will do

faint thunder Jul 31, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

then you can use fs' promise api

urban hare Jul 31, 2023, 4:29 PM

#

I have to download util package ?

faint thunder Jul 31, 2023, 4:29 PM

#

urban hare Jul 31, 2023, 4:29 PM
