here i am getting await can only use inside async function error but i am using async in my function

Question

 const express = require('express') const router = express.Router() const request = require('request') const endponits = require('../sub/endpoints') const status = require('../sub/status') const db = require('../util/db') const util = require('../util/util') const CryptoJS = require('crypto-Js') const fetch = require('node-fetch') const notify = router.post('/', async (req, res) => { console.log(req.body); const CLIENT_SECRET = process.env.PAYMENT_TEST_SECRET_KEY; // const amt = req.body.orderAmount; let postData = { oid: req.body.orderId, amt: req.body.orderAmount, rsn: req.body.txMsg, tt: req.body.txTime } let signData = req.body.orderId + req.body.orderAmount + req.body.referenceId + req.body.txStatus + req.body.paymentMode + req.body.txMsg + req.body.txTime; // const postData = { // oid: req.body.orderId, // amt: req.body.orderAmount, // refId: req.body.referenceId, // sts: req.body.txStatus, // pm: req.body.paymentMode, // tm: req.body.txMsg, // tt: req.body.txTime, // signature: req.body.signature // } // var keys = Object.keys(postData); // var signature = postData.signature; // keys.sort(); // var signatureData = ""; // keys.forEach((key) => { // if (key;= "signature") { // signatureData += postData[key]; // } // }). // var computedSignature = crypto,createHmac('sha256'.

'Something went wrong at our end,': success, false }) } }. err => { res.status(status.HTTPS.SERVER_ERROR):json({ data, null: msg. 'Something went wrong at our end,': success. false }) } ) } else { res.status(status.HTTPS.SERVER_ERROR):json({ data, null: msg, "ERROR 1": success. false }) } } catch (error) { res.status(status.HTTPS.SERVER_ERROR):json({ data, null: msg. 'Something went wrong at our end,': success, false }) } // }) } }. err => { res.status(status.HTTPS.BAD_REQUEST):json({ success, false: msg, 'error 404': data. null }) } ) } else { res.status(status.HTTPS.BAD_REQUEST):json({ success, false: msg. "empty response" }) } }) } else { console.log(signData) console.log(sdata) } }) module.exports = router

here I am using async and await but I am getting await only can be used inside an async function where I am wrong in this I am trying to hit other API but I am not getting success.i have also use request module instead of node-fetch but it is not working. can anybody tell me where I am wrong.......................................................................................................................................................

Answer 1

The success function of your db.updateById() isn't async , so you can't use await inside of it.

Also, consider abstracting those callback-style db functions, wrapping them in promises. That way, you can use async - await on the main flow of your application rather than nesting callbacks.

Answer 2

Please note you are doing an await inside success callback function of db.updateById()

Which should be async. Try this. .

db.updateById( txnid,data, 'txn',
                async (success) => {
                    
                },
               async (err)=> {
                    
                }
}

if it dosent work and you can not make the success callback async for some reason

just return another function in the callback and make that async

db.updateById( txnid,data, 'txn',
                success => {
                    (async () => {
                        
                     })()
                },
               err => {
                    
                }
}
