I agree, Promises easily allow you to do this. Even if you wanted to 'wait' on an event, you can either.
1. Use EventEmitter and simply have an 'on' handler 2. Create a promise and pass the resolve function to whatever js doing the work, and `await` on the promise itself You can also wrap an event emitter callback with a promise, oe use something like RxJS for Observables. So many possibilities.
