async $formatDatabaseJson in Objection.js

Question

I need to await a function in my $formatDatabaseJson. Im checking the docs (https://vincit.github.io/objection.js/#_s_formatdatabasejson) and seems not possible. Is there any way to do it manually?

class Person extends Model {
  async $formatDatabaseJson(json) {
    // Call the super class's implementation.
    json = await super.$formatDatabaseJson(json)
    // await function here
    return json
  }
}

Not the solution but finally I used $beforeInsert, since it support async execution — Rashomon, Sep 02 '18 at 18:42

$formatDatabaseJson is synchronous and cannot be used to call async code. $beforeInsert, $beforeUpdate and $afterGet hooks are async and could be used depending on your use case.
