> 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

===

```bash

npm install blocking-await --save

```

Usage

===

```js

var wait = require('blocking-await')

var got = require('got')

var res = wait(got('todomvc.com'))

console.log(res.body)

//=> ' ...'

```

API

### Wait for a Promise to resolve

`wait(promise) -> value`

Synchronously waits for a Promise to resolve. This locks up the entire node process.

**promise**

Type: `Promise`

The promise to wait on.

**return**

Type: `T`

Returns the value the promise resolved (or throws what it rejected).
