How to select a single account in Ganache

Question

I can see the list of accounts using the following command:

web3.eth.getAccounts();

But now I am trying to select a single account using web3 but I dont know how to do it. I tried 

web3.eth.accounts[0]

But it is not working

Answer 1

When you use web3, selecting a single account is considered as a promise. Try this:

> var accounts;
> web3.eth.getAccounts(function(response) { account = response; });
> console.log(accounts[0]);
