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). --- _Source: https://npm.io/package/blocking-await · Machine-readable twin of the npm.io package page.
