Hello!

First of thanks for this awesomeness!

Sadly the documentation is lacking a bit and that makes me not knowing how to use it. I'm also very new to the concept of "promises" so this is what my question is about.

I'm trying to write a jsonapi which has to return the document up on creation. "this.db" is an instance created with this hapi-plugin. code is basically:

ResourceModel.prototype.addResource = function(newResource) {
    const newDoc = {
        fields: newResource.attributes.fields,
        categories: newResource.attributes.categories
    }

    let test = this.db.saveDocAsync("resources",newDoc).then(function(doc){
        //console.log(doc);
        return doc;
    });

   return ??? //need to return doc here.
};

I can't figure out how to return the value of "doc" in my "addResource"-function. A console log of doc inside the function gives me exactly what i want. But HOW can i wait for this function to complete and then return the value of doc as the return-value from the whole function?

This would be a phenomenal package if I could figure out how to get it working.

I tried this...
let db = request.plugins["hapi-massive"].db;

...and the error tells me that request is undefined...So, if I try the same thing within the request handler, the error says...'Cannot ready property "db" of undefined'

I'm fairly new to plugins, especially custom plugins, and I feel like I'm missing something obvious.
