Promise seems to be not working

Hello,

It seems the async/await pattern is not working.

  const { request_id: requestId, status, error_text: errorText } = await nexmo.verify.request({
      number: `639151112233`,
      brand,
      code_length: 6,
      format: 'json',
    });

Only the callback pattern is working. Is this a bug or just not supported? Thanks a lot.

In the meantime you could always wrap the API using promisify (requires Node 8+) https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v8.x/docs/api/util.html

Here’s an example using the sendSms API

const util = require('util');
...
const sendSms = util.promisify(
  nexmoClient.message.sendSms.bind(nexmoClient.message),
);

async function sendMessage() {
  try {
    await sendSms('bob', TO_NUMBER, 'hello');
    console.log('success!');
  } catch (error) {
    console.log('sad face');
  }
}

sendMessage();

Unfortunately only callbacks are supported at the moment. We’ll be working on a promise based library later this year

Using Promise as default is quite a must have to avoid some hacks like https://github.com/Nexmo/nexmo-node/issues/197#issuecomment-409252927 (thanks @arvi BTW!).

Could we re-open the issue until this got implemented?
