Promise goes to pending state and model is not returning last inserted value

Question

I am trying to return last inserted value using model. my function is

 async addBook(data)
    {
        await db.BOOK.create(data).then((BOOK) => {
            console.log("BOOK_KEY",BOOK.BOOK_KEY);
            return BOOK.BOOK_KEY;
        })
    }

BOOK_KEY is not printing.

let bookId = this.addBook(data)
 console.log("bookId", bookId);

and Here bookId is going state

bookId Promise { <pending> }

Kindly help me to display bookId. Thanks in advance.

`let bookId = this.addBook(data)` doesn't work. `addBook` doesn't contain a return statement and doesn't return anything explicitly (it returns `undefined` implicitly). — jabaa, Nov 24 '21 at 14:03

async function inherently returns a Promise, so you need to either use a .then or await to get the data.

async addBook(data) {
   const BOOK = await db.BOOK.create(data);
   return BOOK.BOOK_KEY;
}
    

let bookId = await this.addBook(data);
console.log("bookId", bookId);
