How make promise execute synchronously?

There are of course legit reasons to force synchronous execution of a promise in js. The most obvious is when require‘ing a file that needs to initialize using some asynchronous stuff, and optimization is not an overriding concern.

Seems like the package synchronized-promise seems like it ought to do the trick. In your case (warning – untested..):

const dti = () => docstoimage.toPng(document.getElementById("main"))
  .then(dataUrl => console.log('url: ', dataUrl))
  .catch(err => console.error('oops: ', err))

const sp = require('synchronized-promise')
const syncDti = sp(dti)
syncDti() // performs the 'synchronized version'

console.log("this console should be executed afterwards")
