How to fix [object Promise]?

Question

Node.js

There is a "minecraft-server-util" module, and there is a method for getting information about the server, I added the ability to get online servers to the function, and everything seemed to work fine, but when I try to output the result somewhere other than the console, [object Promise] is displayed ].

async function getCurrentOnline(address, port) {
    try {
      const response = await util.status(address, { port: port, enableSRV: true, timeout: 5000, protocolVersion: 47 });
      return `${response.onlinePlayers}`;
    } catch (error) {
      throw error;
    }
}

getCurrentOnline('mc.hypixel.net.', 25565).then(count => count) // [object Promise]
getCurrentOnline('mc.hypixel.net.', 25565).then(count => console.log(count)) // Нормальный вывод

Answer 1

I suspect that something like this =) The code is asynchronous and needs to be processed correctly.

const currentOnline = await getCurrentOnline('mc.hypixel.net.', 25565);
