使用tablesasjson调用函数后如何更改变量的值？

Question

why the variable cannot be changed after calling the function?

this is my code:

const tabletojson = require('tabletojson');

var email ;

tabletojson.convertUrl(

    'https://myurl
    ,
    { stripHtmlFromCells: true },
    function(tablesAsJson) {


  email = tablesAsJson[2][7][1];
var result2 = tablesAsJson;
        console.log(result2);
        var Firstname;
        var lastname;
        Firstname = tablesAsJson[0][1][1]
        lastname = tablesAsJson[0][0][1]

        console.log("Hello Sir: "+Firstname + "  " +lastname + ".  your email is : " + email)

        console.log(email)// this prints the correct answer
    }
  );

while trying to print email in out scope of the function its returning a blank text with console.log("the email is " + email);

Answer 1

If you need to use this code as exported function from a module, you need something like this:

test-module.js:

'use strict';

const tabletojson = require('tabletojson');

async function getTableAsArray(url) {
  try {
    return await tabletojson.convertUrl(url);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
}

module.exports = {
  getTableAsArray,
};

test.js:

'use strict';

const testModule = require('./test-module.js');

(async function main() {
  try {
    const array = await testModule.getTableAsArray(
      'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes'
    );
    console.log(array[1][0]);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
})();

方法 convertUrl 是异步的，您不能随意在顶级代码中使用像await 。
