Examples

// inject promise.await() method
require("promise-await");

// create some promises or async functions
var promise1 = new Promise((resolve, reject) =>
  setTimeout(() => resolve("the value"), 1000)
);

var promise2 = new Promise((resolve, reject) =>
  setTimeout(() => reject("the reason"), 1000)
);

async function asyncMethod() {
  // await ...
  // await ...
}

promise1.await(); // return "the value" after 1 second
promise2.await(); // throws "the reason" after 1 second

asyncMethod().await(); // block and return the result or throw the error
