Is there a way to do sync queries?

The async methods all seems to consist of wrapping the result of what are essentially sync functions in a Promise.resolve. Is there a way to skip this? There are parts of my application where I cannot run async code.

For now, although the API is internal, you can keep using const { internalInsertMany } = require('blinkdb/dist/core/insertMany') to import the synchronous methods. Do note that these internal functions will not trigger registered hooks, and are considered unstable.

In the future (after v1.0), I will extract the entire synchronous database into a @blinkdb/core module, which will make it easier if you just want to use the underlying synchronous DB implementation without any hooks.

internalInsertMany still returns a promise though. I hadn't looked closely enough.

WRT hooks, even if I were to de-promisify the internal methods, they still wouldn't trigger hooks then, right? That would be a problem for me, alas. There are sections of my code where I have no choice but to use sync methods.

Is there a rough timeline how far off this future is?

I'll get to it as soon as I finish the vue package, which is the current item on my todo list. I'd expect the extracting to @blinkdb/core to be done probably by end of this year.

Any news on this?

@maradotwebp I have a series of putout codemods that strips blinkdb to sync but I'd much prefer it if it would be part of a formal release.
