I've just skimmed through the docs but I can already tell, this is something I'm going to be using a lot in my next few projects. The cost/value ratio is incredible.

Think that's the first time in years anyone's said that about my code. Thank you!

You know it's an excellent package just based on how straightforward and readable the source code is.

My only gripe-- do you think you could expose the blessing id more easily? My work around is to parse the returned string, but I feel like it's a bit of a hack.

Thank you!

I suppose I could expose the blessing ID. I could either create a `Blessing` class, in which case you'd instantiate it and have easy access to the generated UUID. Or, I could simply return a dictionary containing the UUID and the blessing.

Is the idea of this to replace adding `console.log("code checkpoint");` in your code for debugging? Sort of a, I know the code managed to get to this point, so the error must be happening here?

That wasn't the intended function, but yes - by doing that, you'd end up blessing your code and putting all sorts of helpful checkpoints. At one point, with a bit of luck, such a checkpoint could even prevent your code from crashing - 'cause it's blessed..

I like the use of var and template literals.

what is the use of this?

Because blessing your Javascript code is always a great idea. :)

... Why.

Using JS is never ending Hail Mary.

Amen to that.
