Resolving Promise < pending>

rated 0 times [ 36] [ 5] / answers: 1 / hits: 15350 / 7 Years ago, sat, october 7, 2017, 12:00:00

I'm looking to create a simple helper function which returns the hash for a given password using bcrypt but everytime i call the function, it resolves to Promises { <pending> } what am i doing wrong?

const saltPassword = async (password) => {

    const newHash = await bcrypt.hash(password, saltRounds, (err, hash) => {

        if (err) return err;

        return hash;

    });

    return await newHash;

}

cheers

You should do something like this

const saltPassword = async (password) => {

  const newHash = await bcrypt.hash(password, saltRounds, (err, hash) => {

    if (err) return err;

    return hash;

  });

  return newHash; // no need to await here

}



// Usage

const pwd = await saltPassword;
