Doesn't work api method - getClientID

[bratva]

Hello.

Yandex Metrika has method getClientID. This method return some value.

yaCounterXXXXXX.getClientID() // id

But i can't take this value in ym:

ym('getClientID') // undefined

Well, ym is written with fire-and-forget use case in mind, so apparently it won't work.
I would suggest two possible solutions:

• if you're sure that the counter is ready by the time you're going to call getClientID, then just use window['yaCounterXXXXXX'].getClientID(), it's there;
• otherwise, ym could probably rely on triggerEvent parameter and return a promise.
