Hapi v17 Support

[timcosta]

Overview

If you are not aware yet, Hapi v17 is making the transition from callbacks to async/await, as well as deprecating some other rarely used functionality. This is a breaking change that may make your plugin no longer compatible with the Hapi API.

Changelog

Draft release notes can be found here: hapijs/hapi#3658

Target Release

The target release date for v17 is the beginning of November.

Tasks

• Reply to this to acknowledge that you are actively maintaining this module and are willing to update it
• Update plugin to be fully async/await compatible using the v17 branch from Hapi for testing

  Possible dev flow for updating

  • Clone Hapi
  • npm link within the Hapi repo
  • npm link hapi within your plugin repo
  • Your plugin will now be using v17 of Hapi branch for tests
• Release new major version of your plugin on npm. Please use a major version increment as this will be a breaking change and it would be terrible for it to sneak into current versions of Hapi.

Notes

• Support is being dropped for all versions of Node <8.0.0.
• Hapi v16 will continue to be supported for as long as there exists a Node LTS actively being supported that is not compatible with v17.
• Targeted release date is November 1st, 2017. Please try to have your plugin updated before then.
• This issue is being opened because your plugin is listed on the official hapi website

I will not be prioritizing this upgrade, but would definitely review and accept a PR. I'm going to let this issue hang around for 30 days before closing unless someone picks it up :)
