async/await - Parsing error: Unexpected token => (null)

[purepear]

export function loadThings (creds) {
  return async (dispatch, getState) => {
    try {
      const response = await fetch('http://localhost/api/things')
      return response
    } catch (err) {
      throw (err)
    }
  }
}

Totally unrelated but I couldn't help myself, you don't need to catch and then throw the same error. This function would be functionally equivalent:

export function loadThings (creds) {
  return async (dispatch, getState) => {
    return await fetch('http://localhost/api/things')
  }
}

Anyways, you need to use the babel-parser to use ESnext syntax, see here:

@LinusU The code is actually out of context. Got it from a demo source and stripped it. But thanks for the advice. There's some additional error handling in the catch statement

Cool, I happened to press send a bit early, did you see the solution to your problem?

I did now :)
Thanks!
