Web3 v1 nodejs call to get Ethereum accounts via RPC call

Question

I cannot understand how to get a listing of my accounts using the new Web3 v1 JS lib. It use to be easy: web3.eth.accounts.

Does anyone know how to get a simple listing of accounts using Web3 v1 JS lib in node?

This returns more data than just the accounts, so I'm at a loss here.

web3.eth.getAccounts().then(console.log)

Answer 1

web3.eth.getAccounts().then(function(accts) { 
    accounts = accts 
})

Accounts are then available as web3.eth.accounts use to be; so accounts[0], accounts[1], etc. are now available. I was able to resolve it using the above line of code.
