Use seach results as JavaScript variable

[duesser]

I am running a search in JavaScript that returns results similar to this one.

new SearchManager({
	id: "my_search",
	results: true,
        search: `
            | makeresults count=10 
            | streamstats count
            | fields - _time
        `
});

What I would like to obtain is a JS array with the resulting vector in a variable. I tried to solve it like so:

let search = mvc.Components.get("my_search");
let results = search.data("results");

results_outside = results.on("data", function(){ // 1b)

	let rows = results.data().rows;

	let array = rows.flat(1); // I want the flattened array, no nested one

	console.log("array: ", array); 

    tokens.set("arrays", array); // 2)

	return array; // 1a)
});

console.log("results_outside: ", results_outside); 

 The `array` variable within the function has the desired results, as I can tell from the console. However exporting it to the global scope neighter works by:

1) storing it in `results_outside` - this will have the same value as results.

or

2) setting it to a token.
