How can I get return value from "use node" action inside mutation ?

How can I get return value from "use node" action inside mutation ? - I try thisctx.runAction but got error "runAction does not exist", - So I move to ctx.scheduler but can not get response from that // hashActions.ts

"use node"

import bcrypt from 'bcryptjs'
import { action } from './_generated/server'
import { v } from 'convex/values'

export const hashPassword = action({
  args: { password: v.string() },
  handler: (ctx, args) => {
    const hashedPassword = bcrypt.hashSync(args.password, "$2a$10$eImiTXuWVxfM37uY4JANjQ")
    console.log('hashedPassword:', hashedPassword)
    return hashedPassword  
  }
})

"use node"

import bcrypt from 'bcryptjs'
import { action } from './_generated/server'
import { v } from 'convex/values'

export const hashPassword = action({
  args: { password: v.string() },
  handler: (ctx, args) => {
    const hashedPassword = bcrypt.hashSync(args.password, "$2a$10$eImiTXuWVxfM37uY4JANjQ")
    console.log('hashedPassword:', hashedPassword)
    return hashedPassword  
  }
})

// userAuths.tsx

export const signUpEmail = mutation({
  args: {
    email: v.string(),
    password: v.string(),
  },
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    const passwordHash = await ctx.scheduler.runAfter(
      0,
      api.hashActions.hashPassword,
      { password: args.password },
    )
    /** SEEM THIS return scheduler id or something but not what I expect */
    console.log('passwordHash:', passwordHash)
  },
})

export const signUpEmail = mutation({
  args: {
    email: v.string(),
    password: v.string(),
  },
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    const passwordHash = await ctx.scheduler.runAfter(
      0,
      api.hashActions.hashPassword,
      { password: args.password },
    )
    /** SEEM THIS return scheduler id or something but not what I expect */
    console.log('passwordHash:', passwordHash)
  },
})

Thank you

“use node” isn’t actually important here - you can’t use runAction from a mutation, only from another action. You could use an action to hash the password and then use runMutation to insert the email and hashed password to the database. You could also start with a mutation that inserts the email and leaves the hashed password blank, and then schedule the node action to hash the password and runMutation to insert it. That may or may not be worth the effort depending on how you’re handling client state during creation.
