I am making synchronous requests i.e. I always set {async: false}.

My problem is, while jQuery's $.ajax() returns whatever the response data I want it to return, AngularJs's $http() return a promise which is a big pain in my eyes.

Below, there's some code to demonstrate my problem.

This is jQuery:

// Library for sending $.ajax requests
Core.libs.prototype.send = function(...) {

    var options = {
        async: false,
        // ...
    };

    return $.ajax(options).done(function(data) {
        return data;
    });

}


// Here I make requests
let rest = Core.libs.rest(...); // Get the library
let myVar = rest.send(...); // Make the request
console.log(myVar);  // This returns an array from DB: [apple, orange] which is OK

And this is AngularJS:

// Library for sending $http requests
Core.libs.prototype.send = function(...) {

    var options = {
        async: false,
        // ...
    };

    return $http(options).then(function(response) {
        return response.data;
    }, function(err) {
        return err;
    });

}


// Here I make requests
let rest = Core.libs.rest(...); // Get the library
let myVar = rest.send(...); // Make the request
console.log(myVar);  // This returns a PROMISE which is not what I want

Is there a way how to modify Core.libs.prototype.send to return actual data instead of a promise?

I would like to avoid modifying anything else than the library method.

I do not want this solution, because then I would have to replace it everywhere in my code:

let rest = Core.libs.rest(...); // Get the library
let myVar = rest.send(...).then(data => data);  // Make the request
console.log(myVar);  // This returns [apple, orange] but I don't want this solution

I also tried this, but it's not working as expected:

// Library for sending $http requests
Core.libs.prototype.send = async function(...) {

    var options = {
        // ...
    };

    let res = await $http(options).then(function(response) {
        return response.data;
    }, function(err) {
        return err;
    });

    return res; 

}


// Here I make requests
let rest = Core.libs.rest(...); // Get the library
let myVar = rest.send(...); // Make the request
console.log(myVar);  // This still returns a PROMISE. Why?
