How to wait for the promise to get resolved

Question

I am trying to write a function inside a async function in nodejs. here is my sample script

module.exports = async function (context, req) {
   var mydata = (async () => {
     return "output needed"
   }) ()
  
   console.log(mydata)
}

Expected Output is : output needed

What I get is : promise{ <pending> }

Any Idea to wait till the promise is fulfilled?

You need to await the Promise returned by mydata:

async function test(context, req) {
   var mydata = (async () => {
     return "output needed"
   }) ()
  
   console.log(await mydata)
}

test()
