立即解决 Mongoose Promise 调用

我的代码在代码末尾执行 Promiseconst voters = Player.countDocuments({})行，但我需要它立即解析，以便可以在其余代码中使用它的值。

我该怎么做才能让它基本上作为同步线运行？我曾尝试使用函数来分离代码，将其从套接字中取出，使用 async/await，使用 .resolve().then() 等，但它总是在我想统计选票后解决。

io.on('connection', (socket) => {
    socket.on('direction vote', (individualVote) => {

        var voteCount = 1; 
        var yesVotes = 1;

        // count the number of players that will be in the game
        const voters = Player.countDocuments({})
            .then((voterCount) =>{console.log('voterCount: ' + voterCount);});
        

        // receive the votes and tally them
        if (individualVote == 'yes') {
            yesVotes ++;
            voteCount ++;
            console.log('yesVotes: ' + yesVotes);
        };
        console.log('voters: ' + voters); // this resolves as the promise's object
        if (voteCount == voters) {
            // stuff happens

            // send the vote results to everyone
            io.emit('direction vote result', voteResult);
        };
    }); 
});

编辑：根据Bergi的评论，这就是我使用async/await的方式。

io.on('connection', (socket) => {
    socket.on('direction vote', (individualVote) => {

        var voteCount = 1; 
        var yesVotes = 1;
        
**      // count the number of players that will be in the game
        async function count() {
            const countVoters = await Player.countDocuments({});
            console.log('countVoters: ' + countVoters);
            return countVoters;
        }
        var voters = count();
        console.log('voters: ' + voters);
**

        // receive the votes and tally them
        if (individualVote == 'yes') {
            yesVotes ++;
            voteCount ++;
            console.log('yesVotes: ' + yesVotes);
        };
        console.log('voters: ' + voters); // this resolves as the promise's object
        if (voteCount == voters) {
            // stuff happens

            // send the vote results to everyone
            io.emit('direction vote result', voteResult);
        };
    }); 
});
