await dispatch()

[ognen]

It may be a good idea to allow events (or any any consumer) to wait until a dispatched action has been consumed, potentially by an effect.

e.g.

effects.register(kind, action, async ({ dispatch }) => {
  await dispatch(turnOnComputer()) // waits until the action is consumed, possibly by another effect
  dispatch(login())
})

What do you think @andon, @bevkoski ?

I think that this is a great idea. There are a lot of examples in our Skele apps where we do workarounds because this is not yet supported. It can be useful in the following cases:

• Wait for a read refresh to finish, then do something
• Push a new navigation scene, then do something

However, we should be careful about handling situations where there is no one to consume the action. I am guessing that the dispatch should then result with an exception.
