I am making read request to my Firebase DB, but it keeps returning Promise <pending> object. I am relatively new to coding, so I appreciate the help :) - I just want to return the value (given by the path) in JSON format.

Here is the code I'm running: 

let path7 = database.ref('CheckOuts/2)');

path7.once('value').then(function(elem) {
  let values = elem.val();
  return values;
});

Try this

let path7 = database.ref('CheckOuts/2)');

let result = await path7.once('value');

const value = snapshot.val();

console.log('result',value);

Make sure that async keyword properly added in the function
