Get data value inside the EXEC function

[ggmacasaet]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to get the RESULT of the search outside the EXEC function for canonical search. Can you please help?

In the example:

//Search call as a reusable object with a canonical callback
mySearchCall = elasticSearchClient.search('my_index_name', 'my_type_name', qryObj);
//Do it once
mySearchCall.exec(function(err, data){
console.log(JSON.parse(data))
})

but i need

//Search call as a reusable object with a canonical callback
mySearchCall = elasticSearchClient.search('my_index_name', 'my_type_name', qryObj);
//Do it once
data = mySearchCall.exec(function(err, data){
console.log(JSON.parse(data))
return data;
})

Its asynchronous man. You would have to wrap it in a promise or something similar. however my guess is that you should read up a bit on asynchronous coding and node.js a bit first. Most of node is very much based on callbacks.
