Will async functions with await statements be supported?

[trufa]

I am interested in using async/await.

Currently it's not supported, how do you feel about adding certain babel plugins like this one?

Would this be a problem of where to draw the line of what plugins should be included?

I forked the repo and started to attempt to add the plugin but had a couple of issues, if there's interest I'll look further into it since I should be pretty close.

Thanks in advance!

I have no configuration for babel. Right now it just transforms from 2015 to vanilla.

I use babel in the project to transform any code. Since async await

But what I'm going to do is change it to use babel preset env. I'll add details on this later.

@danmademe Can't wait! :)

Let me know if I can help, It'd be really useful for my current project so I'd be more than happy to collaborate!

Thanks!!

well it isn't that hard actually and yes you're free to open a pull request.. i'll point you in the right direction..

https://github.com/express-vue/express-vue/blob/master/lib/parser/index.js#L52

That's where the babel setup is..

https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env#usage

Change to using this.. and if you can find a way to pass in config from express-vue setup that would be amazing.

app.set('vue', {
    componentsDir: __dirname + '/components',
    defaultLayout: 'layout',
    babel: {
        "presets": ["env"]
    }
});

see how i added babel section there... try passing that through, you can add it into the defaults model, and add a fallback..

Thanks

if you can get it into the app.set, then it gives tremendous boost to flexibility..

This has changed since v4 .. but will add it into v4.1
