javascript - Nodejs - array not returning anything

Question

I'm trying to save the answer to my request with axios in an array, but I'm not getting it, is something wrong?

colorList = axios.get(colors);

let codes = [];

for (let i = 0; i < colorList.data.data.colors.length; i++) {
  codes[i].push(colorList.data.data.colors[i]);
}

console.log(codes);

Answer 1

The call is asynchronous meaning that you have to wait for your request to complete (or more accurately your promise from axios.get() to resolve) and do something with the result. Your code right now runs synchronously.

colorList = axios.get(colors).then(result =>{
  console.log(result)
});

EDIT: Or as a comment above noted, use an async/await setup. Keep in mind that you can't use await in top level code, it can only be used inside an async function

(async () => {
    try {
        const colorCodes = await axios.get(colors);
    } catch (e) {
        // handle error
    }
})()
