Using return and Actor.exit()

I wrote a function that needs to return it's result and will like to find out how to do that since I also have to call exit which terminates the function.

await Actor.init();
function funWithReturnStatement() {
// do some stuff
return data;
await Actor.exit()
}

await Actor.init();
function funWithReturnStatement() {
// do some stuff
return data;
await Actor.exit()
}

Hello, what do you intend to return the data to? If you have a return on the top level, it do you want to return an exit code for the process, or what is the purpose of it?

Usually we save data to KV store or to the dataset. https://docs.apify.com/sdk/js/reference/class/Dataset https://docs.apify.com/sdk/js/docs/next/guides/result-storage
