How to use asyncawait in the browser? about asyncawait HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi @GarouDan,

asyncawait (i.e. this library) is strictly node-only because it relies on the native node module node-fibers.

As you probably know, async/await (not linked to this library except by common inspiration/origins) is now a stage-3 proposal for integration into the JavaScript language itself, but it still has little current browser support (MS Edge supports it).

To use async/await in browsers today, your best bet is probably to use Babel to transpile your code to equivalent ES5. Async functions get transpiled into equivalent code that uses ES5 generators, which most browsers do support. I believe there is even a way to transpile to equivalent ES3 although the transformation is complex and you will no longer recognise your source code, but it should run in all browsers.

I'm not sure if Babel can help with script blocks embedded in a html file like your example above. It would be best to separate the JavaScript into its own file(s).

Closing as there is nothing actionable for asyncawait here, but feel free to comment/reopen if you have more questions.
