Get data from request npm

I'm building an app using express js and using request(v-2.88.2) to get data from an api

request(url, function(error, request, body) {
    var data = JSON.parse(body);
});

I want to use var data in other functions.

Are there any ways to do this?

Solution

  • hi you can do this by making you variable as global. its not really good method but we can do this

    var data; 
request(url, function(error, request, body) {
data = JSON.parse(body);
});

    by this, you can even access your data variable outside of your function too. hope this may help you.
