Is it possible to make an API call using fetch in a custom visual.
I have set the privallages to allow web access to the API url and when I run the following function it succesfully prints the data in the console.
private async getData() {
try {
const url: string = 'http://localhost:3000/api/routes'
const response = await fetch(url)
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
//return data;
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
}The thing im struggling with is saving the returned data to a variable to use to create my visual.
When I try to return the data to a variable in the constructor or update methods the variable is undefined or promise pending.
