Sometimes, we want to make a promise return the resolved value instead of [object Promise] with JavaScript.

In this article, we’ll look at how to make a promise return the resolved value instead of [object Promise] with JavaScript.

How to make a promise return the resolved value instead of [object Promise] with JavaScript?

To make a promise return the resolved value instead of [object Promise] with JavaScript, we can use the await keyword.

For instance, we write:

(async () => {
  const d = await Promise.resolve(1)
  console.log(d);
})();

to call Promise.resolve with 1 to return a promise that resolves to 1.

Then we use the await keyword to get the resolved value and assign that to d.

Therefore, d is 1.

Conclusion

To make a promise return the resolved value instead of [object Promise] with JavaScript, we can use the await keyword.
