Use in function

[MTRNord]

HI I have following code in module.exports and want to get the awnser from the server returned by the function. How can I do that? I tried to put the return in front of the connect but that did gave me the state of the connection.

  status: function () {
    rcon.connect().then(() => {
        rcon.command('status').then(() => {
            console.log('status check');
        });
    }).then(
        () => rcon.disconnect()
    ).catch(err => {
        console.log('caught', err);
        console.log(err.stack);
    });
  },

The functions return promises. If status is also a promised function, do this:

  status: function () {
    return rcon.connect().then(() => {
        return rcon.command('status').then(result => {
            console.log('status check', result);
        });
    }).then(
        () => rcon.disconnect()
    ).catch(err => {
        console.log('caught', err);
        console.log(err.stack);
    });
  },

If status expects a callback, do this:

  status: function (cb) {
    return rcon.connect().then(() => {
        return rcon.command('status').then(result => {
            console.log('status check', result);
            cb(null, result);
        });
    }).then(
        () => rcon.disconnect()
    ).catch(err => {
        console.log('caught', err);
        console.log(err.stack);
        cb(err);
    });
  },

Thanks that worked :)

OK it did not. If I call the function status I get Promise { <pending> } and not the result :/

[randunel]

Try to call status like this:

status().then(result => console.log('Got status', result))

Now the next "error" is Got status undefined

Can you send that promise based code?
