Return value from realm.write

[Andreyco]

Allow returning value from realm.write

E.g.

const user = realm.write(() => {
  return realm.create('User', {})
})

If you accept this feature request, I can provide PR.

[Andreyco]

No interest?

[nirinchev]

I think it makes sense and doesn't sound like a breaking change. We'd be happy to review a PR for it. cc @kraenhansen @cmelchior

So only the last created object should be returned?

[davidwadge]

Is this really not possible?

[nirinchev]

@kneth seeing your comment only now - I think realm.write should just return whatever the callback returned. So if you did:

let foobar = realm.write(() => {
  // create objects, update them, etc.
  return { "foo": "bar" }
});

foobar.foo == "bar";

[kraenhansen]

I agree - this should be straight forward to implement and very valuable.

[nhadro]

I'll add that this would very valuable and would definitely appreciate this addition.

@takameyer This came up in our user interview today - can we add this to our potential future API plan please?

[takameyer]

@ianpward I'll add it in. Looks like a very useful feature.
