How to use PropertyValueConverterBase asynchronously?
Hi, I am developing an Umbraco 9 package.
I learnt how to use the PropertyValueConverterBase object, and how to intercept data called from the database in the following way:
```
public override object ConvertIntermediateToObject(IPublishedElement owner, IPublishedPropertyType propertyType, PropertyCacheLevel referenceCacheLevel, object inter, bool preview)
{
var configuration = propertyType.DataType.ConfigurationAs<MappeConfigurationModel>();
var model = string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(inter?.ToString()) ? configuration.Tipologia : _jsonSerializer.Deserialize<MappeModel>(inter.ToString());
model.Configuration = configuration;
return model;
}
```
As you can see, with the method above I have the chance to intercept the data fetched from the database and manipulate it before it gets returned to the property editor as a value (and then displayed on the front-end).
However, I am in need now to make a http request call to an API controller to fetch some additional data...
How I achieve such result? The IPropertyValueConverter interface from which I inherit my object does not have an async version of ConvertIntermediateToObject...
For example, the code below is not accepted:
```
public async override Task<object> ConvertIntermediateToObject(IPublishedElement owner, IPublishedPropertyType propertyType, PropertyCacheLevel referenceCacheLevel, object inter, bool preview)
{
var client = _httpClientFactory.CreateClient();
var response = await client.GetAsync(baseUri + "umbraco/plugin/people/getpeople");
var configuration = propertyType.DataType.ConfigurationAs<MappeConfigurationModel>();
var model = string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(inter?.ToString()) ? configuration.Tipologia : _jsonSerializer.Deserialize<MappeModel>(inter.ToString());
model.Configuration = configuration;
return model;
}
```
In other words, does anyone know how to wait for the response of a HTTP call before passing the value to a propertyEditor in Umbraco?
