The following should work:

```
import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure";

async function main(): Promise&lt;string&gt; {
    const resourceGroup = await azure.core.getResourceGroup({
        name: "appservice-rg24afd37d",
    });

    return resourceGroup.location;
}

export const location = main();
```

Note that `getResourceGroup` does not appear to return the `name`, but you also don't really need it because you can only get the resource group by name anyway, so you could just use that name where needed instead of calling `getResourceGroup`.  You only need that function if you want to e.g. figure out what location the resource group is in.

Here's another example:

```
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure";

async function main(): Promise&lt;pulumi.Output&lt;string&gt;&gt; {
    // Get an Azure Resource Group
    const resourceGroupName = "appservice-rg24afd37d";
    const resourceGroup = await azure.core.getResourceGroup({ name: resourceGroupName });

    // Create an Azure resource (Storage Account)
    const account = new azure.storage.Account("storage", {
        resourceGroupName: resourceGroupName,
        location: resourceGroup.location,
        accountTier: "Standard",
        accountReplicationType: "LRS",
    });

    return account.primaryConnectionString;
}

export const connectionString = main()
```

Hi <@UB3BGTV63>, thanks a lot. However, that looks like typescript and, sorry for the confusion, I have no idea about typescript. Would you mind to send me a js example, that would be great! The first short example would be mighty sufficient.

How about this?

```
const azure = require("@pulumi/azure")

async function main() {
    const resourceGroup = await azure.core.getResourceGroup({
        name: "appservice-rg24afd37d",
    });

    return resourceGroup.location;
}

exports.location = main();
```

Thanks a lot and thanks a lot for the js lessons as well :wink:. I tried to figure out how to return the whole resourceGroup object at once (so that I can access its values by using resourceGroup.location) but I gave up and just repeated your function multiple times for now. Will try to think about how to do that tomorrow. Javascript really is a beast, no wonder you are using typescript ...
