How to get Content ID in a View (.hbs file), or how does getContext() returns it?

[Hauke Hörhold]

I am building a Confluence Cloud App with Connect. I want to get the Page ID (Content ID) of the page, where the Macro is put on. I'm working in the View-Folder of my Connect-App in a .hbs-file.

I can get the ID by using getContext(), but I can't put it in a variable for later usage, because of the scope.

Like this I can see the ID in the console:

AP.context.getContext(function(response) {
    console.log = response.confluence.content.id;
});

 But what I really need would be something like this (which doesn't work):

var pageID;
AP.context.getContext(function(response) {
    pageID = response.confluence.content.id;
});
console.log(pageID);

I need to somehow return the ID via the callback function? How can I do it?

Or is there a simpler way? I could only find this resource: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/jsapi/context/
