how to call async function in .on event nodejs










-1















I am reading a CSV file using csv-parser npm module createReadStream.



export default async function main() 
const readstream = fs.createReadStream('src/working_file.csv');
stream.on('data', data =>
const val = await fun(param1, param2, param3);
);
fun(param1, param2, param3)
return true;




I have to call function fun with await but it is throwing me the error.await is only valid in async function. Can anyone help me how to fix this?

          Just indicate that the callback function is async.



          stream.on('data', async data => 
          // Do async stuff
          )

          • each data has a JSON object and I have written a function call in call back function. Which is calling by all the objects at once. Can you tell me why? and I want to call the function in callback function one after once.

          The function that you await must return a promise.



          export default async function main() 
          const readstream = fs.createReadStream('src/working_file.csv');
          stream.on('data', async data =>
          try
          const val = await fun(param1, param2, param3);
          catch(err)
          //handle error


          );
          fun(param1, param2, param3)
          return new Promise((resolve, reject)=>
          resolve(some_value)
          )

            It needs to be specified as async and that very change means it does return a promise, by definition. An expression that is awaited is wrapped in a promise meaning that anything may be awaited
