I am learning basic NodeJS and I have a problem. How to return function value from anonymous function inside it eg:

function blah() {
    message("blah blah", function(z) {
        var r = "blah blah";
        return r;
    });
}

Is `message()` synchronous or asynchronous? – Reinstate Monica Cellio Dec 16 '16 at 11:59
@Archer this is async method – alextran Dec 16 '16 at 12:04
In that case you can't do what you're trying to do above. You'll need to look into handling responses from asynchronous methods. The link from Matias will help you with that. – Reinstate Monica Cellio Dec 16 '16 at 12:06
