Promise can't return msg

[RootShell-coder]

I am trying to use a function with the following seems to be simple code.

settings.js

    functionGlobalContext: {
        bluebird:require('bluebird')
    },

function

const Promise = context.global.bluebird

const p = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    setTimeout(()=>{
        resolve(10)
    }),1000
})

p.then(number => {
    msg.topic = number
    node.warn(msg.topic)
    return msg
})

and can't return the msg object. In addition, I still did not understand how to properly connect external modules through the setup tab of the function block.

Hello Root,

const bluebird = global.get("bluebird")  // reference library

const p = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    setTimeout(() => {
        resolve(10)
    }, 1000)
})

p.then(number => {
    msg.topic = "My promise number"
    msg.payload = number
    //node.warn(msg.topic)
    node.send(msg)
})

1. you were referencing the library wrong (Documentation)
2. you had the ms timeout outside the brackets
3. dont know what the library does .. thats up to you

thank you very much.
Truly, asynchronous need to be returned via node.send(msg)

Do not use bluebird. There is no good reason for using that library these days. All supported versions of node.js have full support for Promise built in.

I'm just studying the tool I'm trying to work with. I am reading this wonderful forum and I am asking questions that are incomprehensible to me. But first, in order not to distract the community, I try to figure it out on my own. I think many people do this. Although the above example was simple, it still allowed me to go further. Thank you sincerely for your wonderful knowledge.
