(async function testingAsyncAwait() {
    await console.log("For Trump's Sake Print me!");
})();

Does babel support async await?. It's ES 2017 no?

Hey Satvik, for async await you need to have transform-regenerator and syntax-async-functions plugin installed and specified in .babelrc

@bharathitman No. True, I was wrong. had to use- Babel preset es2017 plugin

And then did this-

BOZZMOB-M-T0HZ:rest bozzmob$ babel helloz.js --preset > es2017.js

es2017.js-

"use strict";

function _asyncToGenerator(fn) { return function () { var gen = fn.apply(this, arguments); return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) { function step(key, arg) { try { var info = gen[key](arg); var value = info.value; } catch (error) { reject(error); return; } if (info.done) { resolve(value); } else { return Promise.resolve(value).then(function (value) { return step("next", value); }, function (err) { return step("throw", err); }); } } return step("next"); }); }; }

require("babel-core/register");
require("babel-polyfill");

(() => {
    var ref = _asyncToGenerator(function* () {
        yield console.log("For Trump's Sake Print me!");
    });

    function testingAsyncAwait() {
        return ref.apply(this, arguments);
    }

    return testingAsyncAwait;
})()();
