javascript - async await in image loading

Question

Temp.js

export default class Temp {
    async addImageProcess(src){
        let img = new Image();
        img.src = src;
        return img.onload = await function(){
          return this.height;
        }
    }
}

anotherfile.js

import Temp from '../../classes/Temp'
let tmp = new Temp()

imageUrl ="https://www.google.co.in/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_120x44dp.png"
let image = tmp.addImageProcess(imageUrl);
console.log(image)

Above is my code. I have a image url and tried to get image's properties using async await but it's not working, don't understand what I missed.

Your problem here extends from the definition for await...

The await operator is used to wait for a Promise

The Image.prototype.onload property is not a promise, nor are you assigning it one. If you're wanting to return the height property after loading, I would instead create a Promise...

addImageProcess(src){
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    let img = new Image()
    img.onload = () => resolve(img.height)
    img.onerror = reject
    img.src = src
  })
}

You would then use the following to access that value

tmp.addImageProcess(imageUrl).then(height => {
  console.log(height)
})

or, if within an async function

async function logImageHeight(imageUrl) {
  console.log('height', await tmp.addImageProcess(imageUrl))
}
