In case anyone else encountered this problem. You have to edit your function and check the "has return value" box. Then your return will work. After this you have to use "Call Function" again and now you have a new field for saving results.
How can i save my nodejs variable, to a "BAS" variable?

were you able to figure this out? I have already tried [[Varname]] = objectToSave

@janekorec said in How can i save my nodejs variable, to a "BAS" variable?:
+1 same problem, not enough wiki
The usual assignment by value works
[[NEW_VARIABLE]] = "hello world"but the data between BAS and nodejs is transmitted in serialized form

Before you start the Node.js part, drop helper functions into Tools > Execute Code :
setGlobalVar = function () { var args = _function_arguments(); var name = Object.keys(args)[0]; PSet("basglobal", name, JSON.stringify(args[name])); }; getGlobalVar = function() { var name = _function_arguments(); var result = JSON.parse(P("basglobal", JSON.stringify(name)) || '""') _function_return(result) }Next time, use them in your Node.js code like this:
await BAS_FUNCTION("setGlobalVar", {"TEST": 2}) var value = await BAS_FUNCTION("getGlobalVar", "TEST") console.log(value) await BAS_FUNCTION("setGlobalVar", {"TEST2": 222222})The variable inspector doesn’t see them, but they do exist!
