How to write the response of a post request to a variable?

Question

JavaScript

I use the axios library on node js

I send a post request, I want to write the answer to a variable and use it outside the request, but I get Promise { <pending> }

How to get the answer and write it to a variable?

const createProduct = api.post('products', newProduct).then(function (response) {
            return response.data;
          });

          console.log(createProduct); //Promise { <pending> }
