AFAIK, you cannot. Assuming I am right, there are a couple of options for you:
1. Do not do async operations in the module init. Instead return a partial
object and provide methods for the caller to know when you are ready: either a
‘ready’ event that your module/object emits (better) or a polling function
(worse).
2. Use promises: which is kind of the same thing as above, except the promise
module hides away some of the work.
