in this code, the anonymous function of the readFile function returns a value. What i want to do is get that return value to a separate variable. 

var jsonfile = require('jsonfile');

var file = '../data/tc.json';

jsonfile.readFile(file, function (error, data) {
    return data;
  });

  • `readFile` is `asynchronous`.. Instead of doing `return`, use it or pass it as argument for another `function` – Rayon Apr 21 '16 at 10:42
