Usage

Trivial

const dryboard = require("dryboard").configureDryboard();

dryboard.set("pi", "3.14159265");

const pi = await dryboard.get("pi"); //Without await, this returns a Promise so

console.log(pi); // 3.14159265 this would be a Promise if you don't use await

Less Trivial

const dryboard = require("dryboard").configureDryboard();

setTimeout(() => dryboard.set("pi", "3.14159265"), 3000);

const pi = await dryboard.get("pi"); // waits until resolved

console.log(pi); // 3.14159265

Slightly Less Trivial

const dryboard = require("dryboard").configureDryboard();

const allFetches = fetchAllItemsAndDependencies();
Promise.all(
  allFetches.map(promise =>
    promise.then(item => dryboard.set(item.id, item)).then(async item => ({
      ...item,
      parent: await dryboard.get(item.parentId)
    }))
  )
);
