How to get the parameter value outside of promise

Hi ,

I am having the below code…

my Logged_user value is ‘9715328568’ which is taking from the local storage

if (this.logged_user ==undefined){                                        
  this.storage.get('username').then((auth) => {
    this.logged_user=auth;  
    console.log(this.logged_user,' is already  logged in '); //---- result '9715328568,' is already  logged in '
  });
  
  console.log(this.logged_user,' is already logged in signup screen');   //-- result undefined  is already logged in signup screen
  
}else{
  this.logged_user=this.logged_user
}

Outside of promise its shwing as indefined …
“console.log(this.logged_user,’ is already logged in signup screen’); //-- result undefined is already logged in signup screen”

Promise is an asynchronous method. In your case you call this.storage.get which returns a Promise. This means the value is only available when the Promise has fulfilled.
Your console.log() after the then method the Promise shows a value of this.logged_user which is called after the Promise is fulfilled. The value this.logged_user is undefined because the Promise is not completed.
The value is only available in the then method of the Promise. All further handling of this.logged_user depends on the Promise resolved value.

If you want a clean sync-like code with Promises, I recommend to async-await.

class YourClass {
  public logged_user: string;

  public async login() {
    if (this.logged_user !== undefined) {
      console.log('User is already set.');
      return;
    }

    console.log('logged_user is ', this.logged_user);
    // Expected Result: Undefined (ok)

    // The value of the resolved Promise is set to this.logged_user.
    // It waits until the Promise is fulfilled. (Does not block the rest of your code. Don't worry.)
    this.logged_user = await this.storage.get('username');

    console.log(this.logged_user, ' is already  logged in ');
    // Result: '9715328568,' is already logged in.

    console.log(this.logged_user, ' is already logged in signup screen');
    // Result: '9715328568' is already logged in signup screen.
  }
}

Look out for async before the method / function name and await before Promise. Note: Your method login is now a Promise, too.
