express-async-await

express-async-await

Use async/await in your routes without polluting / wrapping them.

Usage

Pass the app to the library and we'll monkey-patch it for you:

const aa = require('express-async-await')
const app = aa(express())

app.get('/ok', async function(req, res, next) {
  res.json({hello: 'world'})
})

app.get('/no', async function(req, res) {
  res.notSomethingICanRun({hello: 'world'})
})

app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
  console.error(err)

  res.status(500).send("Ouch!")
})

Now app.$method(route, fn) support async functions out of the box!

(have a look at the example app)
