[Query] Synchronous function using request-promise ??

[jay11ca39]

I want to write a synchronous function, which return the rest response which it receive from server. For example:

function get(address) {                          ------->  address = http://www.google.com
    rp(address)
        .then(function (htmlString) {
            // Process html...
        })
        .catch(function (err) {
            // Crawling failed...
        });
}

The above function should exit only when it receive response from the server.... I am not sure about the working of request-promise will it provide this feature or there is any other way to do this ?

No. You cannot write synchronous function with promises. But you can use an "await/async" chain.

Like @triadium said, you cannot do this. The requests are based on node.js’s core libraries which are async by design. But indeed, await / async are your friends. Or generators (function *) and yield for older versions of node.js.
