ready()

module-structure.md

If you are using hydra in the same file it's being initialized in, then you can wait directly on the promise returned by hydra.init() before proceding with other hydra methods.

// index.js
hydra.init({...})
  .then(...);

However, if you are importing your hydra instance from a separate file, you will need to call the hydra.ready() method. hydra.ready() returns the exact same promise that hydra.init() does, though it does so without re-initializing the hydra instance.

// my-hydra.js
import hydra from 'hydra';

hydra.init({...});
export default hydra;

// service.js
import hydra from './my-hydra.js';

hydra.ready().then(...);

You can use hydra.ready() any time after you have called hydra.init() to wait for initialization to complete.
