Coding Question? Can you turn a query into a function?

Hi Chris!

In order to use a variable/value from one function in another you need to return it.
In the case that you described there is a use of promises (read more about promises here ) and in such case a variable won’t be able to return until the promise is resolved.

Your function should look like this:

import wixData from 'wix-data';

function query() {
	return new Promise(resolve => {
		let currentUser = wixUsers.currentUser; 
		currentUser.getEmail()
		.then(email => { 	
		      wixData.query('Members')
		      .eq('email', email)
		      .find() 
		      .then((results) => {
		     	    let firstItem = res.items[0];
			    resolve(firstItem);
			});
	});
}

Please inform me if something isn’t working as you plan.
Hope it helps.
Best of luck!

Doron.
