Async / Await Demo

Companion project to my article on async/await.

This app provides a brief demonstration of using JavaScript's new async and await keywords by using them in a small CRUD API with Mongoose. Note that running this app require Node v7 and, at the time of writing, requires you run Node with the --harmony flag.

Running the Application

Before running the app, you must have an instance of MongoDB running on your localhost. Once you have that set up, run these commands:

1. npm install
2. npm start

Comparing to Promises and Callbacks

There are three branches in this project: master, promises, and callbacks. To compare the async and await to other methods, look at app/task.controller.js on these different branches.
