express js wrapper for using async function to handle requests

expressAsyncHandler.ts

import express from 'express';

type AsyncRouteHandlerType = (request: express.Request, response: express.Response, next: express.NextFunction) => Promise<void>;

/**
 * Wraps async router function, calls the function with router args and invokes next function on exceptions.
 * @example
 * import express from 'express';
 * const router = express.Router();
 * router.get('/thing/list', asyncRouteHandler(listThings));
 * 
 * async function listThings(request: express.Request, response: express.Response, next: express.NextFunction): Promise<void> {
 *     // thing a magic here
 * }
 * @param asyncRouter async/await express route handler (function that takes express router arguments and returns a Promise)
