Question

Getting below error when i try to use async/await with NodeJs 4.x. Any issue with the below sample code or should i use alternate ?

async function main ()

Answer 1

try installing asyncawait. It should work for older node versions. Other alternatives are using a callback or promises.

you'll have to require it

1. npm install asyncawait

2. require modules.

   var async = require('asyncawait/async');

   var await = require('asyncawait/await');

3. perform operations.

   (async function () { const intgetIDvalue = await fntest(getID); })();
