What is a way to retrieve the value of a variable that was assigned inside a then() function and is now outside of it?

edit

One way to retrieve the value of a variable that was assigned inside a then() function and is now outside of it is to declare the variable outside of the then() function before assigning its value inside the function. Then, you can access the value of the variable from outside the then() function.

For example:

let myVariable;

myPromise.then(result => {
  myVariable = result;
});

console.log(myVariable);

In this example, myVariable is declared before the then() function, but it is not assigned a value until the function is executed. The console.log() statement will output the value of myVariable after the promise has resolved and the value has been assigned.

Alternatively, you could use a global variable to store the value and access it from outside the then() function, but this is not recommended as it can cause naming conflicts and make your code harder to maintain.
