Laracasts Cypress - Use the models that were just created

Hello everyone,

I'm new to Cypress and I want a test that a user can see its projects after signing in.

I tried to save the user, but this does not work:

it('can see its projects', () => {
    let user = cy.login()
    let project = cy.create('App\Models\Project', { user_id: user.id })
    cy.visit('/home').contains(project.name)
})

However, this does work:

it('can see its projects', () => {
    cy.login().then(user => {
        cy.create('App\Models\Project', { user_id: user.id }).then(project => {
            cy.visit('/home').contains(project.name)
        })
    })
})

Is the last one the only way to do this, or are there other ways to save the just created models?

It seems like there is no official way to achieve this: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/1417

But there are some 3rd party packages like https://www.npmjs.com/package/cypress-thenify :

it('can see its projects', () => {
    let user = cy.login().thenify();
    let project = cy.create('App\Models\Project', { user_id: user.id }).thenify();

    cy.visit('/home').contains(project.name);
})
