use Promise, like this;

var details = new Promise(async (resolve, reject) => {
  const {
    AuthenticationDetails,
    CognitoUser,
    CognitoUserPool
  } = require("amazon-cognito-identity-js");

  var poolData = {
    UserPoolId: '', // your user pool id here
    ClientId: '' // your client id here
  };

  var userPool = new CognitoUserPool(poolData);

  var userData = {
    Username: '', // your username here
    Pool: userPool
  };

  var cognitoUser = new CognitoUser(userData);

  var authenticationData = {
    Username: '',
    Password: '',
  };

  var authenticationDetails = new AuthenticationDetails(authenticationData);

  cognitoUser.authenticateUser(authenticationDetails, {
    onSuccess: function (data) {
      var token = data.getIdToken().getJwtToken()
      console.log("user", token)
      resolve(token)
    }
  })
})
