Why does axios with async return a promise object?

Question

JavaScript

async getTickets(slot_id) {
                let tickets;
                await axios.get('/api/tickets/' + slot_id)
                    .then(({data}) => {
                        tickets = data.data;
                    });

                return tickets;
            }

I receive a Promise object, and only it has in which my data is stored that I returned in the function, how can I immediately receive this data without a promise object?

Answer 1

What do you expect with this code?
This is how it should be (roughly):

async getTickets(slot_id) {
  try {
    const { data } = await axios.get('/api/tickets/' + slot_id)
    return data
  } catch (e) {
     throw new Error(e)
  }
}
