Data from LDAP query in variable LdapJS - node.js

Question

I'm trying to get the data from LDAP and I'm getting it successfully but it's not written into variable so then after the code is executed I can make some checks on the data.
var server = LdapJS.createClient({
url: LdapConf.server.url,
tlsOptions: LdapConf.server.tlsOptions
});
server.bind(LdapConf.server.bindDN, LdapConf.server.bindCredentials, function(err) {
if (err) {
return done(err);
}
});
var SearchOtps = {
filter: '(uid=' + username + ')',
scope: 'one',
};
var UserSearch = server.search(LdapConf.server.searchBase, SearchOtps, function(err, res) {
res.on('searchEntry', function(entry) {
console.log('entry: ' + JSON.stringify(entry.object));
return (JSON.stringify(entry.object));
});
res.on('searchReference', function(referral) {
//console.log('referral: ' + referral.uris.join());
});
res.on('error', function(err) {
//console.error('error: ' + err.message);
});
res.on('end', function(result) {
//console.log('status: ' + result.status);
});
});
console.log(UserSearch);
I just do not know how to stop further code execution while it's waiting for the return of the LDAP search.
Server Started
undefined

You could do a function that returns it in promise.
function UserSearch(server,LdapConf, SearchOtps) {
return new Promise(function(resolve,reject) {
server.search(LdapConf.server.searchBase, SearchOtps, function(err, res) {
res.on('searchEntry', function(entry) {
console.log('entry: ' + JSON.stringify(entry.object));
resolve(JSON.stringify(entry.object)));
});
res.on('searchReference', function(referral) {
//console.log('referral: ' + referral.uris.join());
});
res.on('error', function(err) {
reject()
});
res.on('end', function(result) {
//console.log('status: ' + result.status);
});
});
}
}
UserSearch(server,LdapConf, SearchOtps)
.then(function(res) {
console.log(res)
})
