How can I use the response from one function being called as an argument in calling another function?

Question

uploadImage(extraFileItems[i])
          .then(response => 
            console.log(response)


            );
            
            // addItemToBin(bin, name, url);

I'm calling a function here that fetches data from an API. The API returns a promise with a result of what I want to pass as the "URL" parameter in the "addItemToBin" function. How can I call the "addItemToBin" function and pass it an argument of the promise result in the uploadImage function call?

I tried taking the response and setting it to a variable called url, however, that doesn't work. I also tried just calling the "addItemToBin" function in the .then however, that doesn't work either.

That's the way to do it.

uploadImage(extraFileItems[i])
  .then(response => addItemToBin(bin, name, response));

If that didn't work for you then please provide more details.
