Synchronously wait for a Promise to resolve
Use this module to block the entire node process while waiting for a Promise to resolve.
NOTE: In almost every case you should not use this and instead opt for true async functions
using JavaScript's built-in await construct. Your entire app will become unresponsive while waiting.
Installation
npm install blocking-await --save
Usage
var wait = require('blocking-await')
var got = require('got')
var res = wait(got('todomvc.com'))
console.log(res.body)
//=> '<!doctype html> ...'
API
Wait for a Promise to resolve

Synchronously waits for a Promise to resolve. This locks up the entire node process.
promise
Type: Promise
The promise to wait on.
return
