Is there a way to use pool.getConnection() taken from the mysqljs/mysql lib with the async/ await syntax?

The idea is to have a method whic

Previous answers (with util.promisify) did not work for me, and only implementing Promise manually works:

Function:

async function removeItem (id)  {

return new Promise( (resolve) => {
    pool.query('DELETE FROM table_name WHERE id=' + id, (error) => {
          resolve ({result: !error});
        });
    }); 
} 

Usage:

const app = express();
const mysql = require('mysql');
const pool = mysql.createPool({
            connectionLimit: 10,
            host: 'localhost',
            user: 'login',
            password: 'pass',
            database: 'dbname'
        });



app.post("/:id", async (req, res) => {
        const answer = await itemRemove(id);
        res.send(answer);
    });
