getFlags() , identify(), setTrait(), setTraits() Promise doesn't return a value when resolved. Returns undefined about flagsmith-js-client

getValue / hasFeature is pretty much exactly the same as doing flags[name]. These calls do not interact with the api and are synchronous.

The approach should still be as I mentioned, if we started to resolve a set of flags with these calls it would encourage not using these functions which allow for flag analytics and possibility for any other future features.

I will take a look at these calls as the type file suggests they do resolve with flags, however regardless of this, waiting for the promises to resolve and using flagsmith functions is still probably the way to go.

Could I ask what the usecase here is, @Nihir10dec? The idea is to use flagsmith calls such as getValue/hasFeature/getTrait or getState for ssr/isomorphic after the flags and traits have been retrieved (either after onChange or when these promises are resolved)

I’m not really sure what we would want to resolve with if anything. The main thing here is all the gets will at this point have new values.

So my use case is to get all the Flags at the point where I call the identify() function, so that I retrieve all the flags according to the identified user.
As there are a lot of features and it's a large project where I'm using, calling each features getValue() can be just redundant work.
Hence to retrieve all the flags at just once, I wanted the values returned from the promise.

Hey, @kyle-ssg Any thoughts or suggestions on this?

Considering the above, the types have been updated in 1.6.2 to indicate that getFlags etc do not resolve with flags
