Is there a cleaner way to await an https.get?

Question

I stumbled across this post while looking for a way to await reading a file with fs. I was surprised that I hadn't seen it anywhere else:

const fs = require('fs').promises;

async function loadMonoCounter() {
    const data = await fs.readFile("monolitic.txt", "binary");
    return new Buffer(data);
}

Is there a way to use await in the same manner shown above, but for the 'https' library?

I didn't see anything like .promises and I was hoping to avoid the whole return Promise resolve reject business.

Thank you

No, but there are numerous third-party libraries which use promises by default (including axios, node-fetch, bent, got, superagent, and urllib).
