I tried using async/await instead of the callback for reading the Gmail



Here is the code snippet



const {google} = require('googleapis');
async function getRecentMessageBody(auth) {
const gmail = google.gmail({version: 'v1', auth});
try{
const messageId = await gmail.users.messages.list({
userId: 'me',
labelIds: 'INBOX',
maxResults: 1
});
const message = await gmail.users.messages.get({
userId: 'me',
id: messageId.data.messages[0].id,
format : 'full'
});
const value = base64url.decode(message.data.payload.body.data);
console.log(messageId);
//return value ;
}
catch(error) {
console.log('Error occurs while reading mail :'+ error);
throw error;
}
}


But the messageId is undefined



whereas if i use



gmail.users.labels.list({
userId: 'me',
}, (err, res) => {
if (err) return console.log('The API returned an error: ' + err);
const labels = res.data.labels;
if (labels.length) {
console.log('Labels:');
labels.forEach((label) => {
console.log(`- ${label.name}`);
});
} else {
console.log('No labels found.');
}
});


how to fix the issue??
