How access data outside of axios.post in ReactJS?

Question

The response data is not accessable outside the axios request body

axios.post(url)
.then(res => {
//data is accessible here
});
//I want to access here

Answer 1

You can store data in global variable.

Answer 2

Somewhere else in the program, you declare (in the global scope)

var result;

Then, in the.then(), you do:

result = res;

(If you want to store res into result)

Answer 3

Idea of global variable doesn't work, I tried a lot
