Serverless Async Await

Frictionless async await transpiler for Node 0.12 using async-to-gen

Transpile your entire project with async await.

Instalation

npm install --save-dev serverless-async-await

Usage

serverless package

Or

serverless deploy

Both will transpile your code to the temporary folder and then get copied to the .serverless folder.

Consideration

When running

sls invoke local

the code is not transpiled , instead it uses your native node version.

The plugins will first transpile your code to a temporary __build__ folder, before copying everything to the .serverless folder.

Advantage over Typescript and Webpack / Babel

Unlike typescript plugin and webpack serverless async await will not compiled your code it will only get translated. You can see the test/handlers folder to get an idea of what your code will look like.

Hence Webpack and Typescript makes debugging hell.

If you had a bad experience with those tools, this plugins will save you tons of time and energy with a frictionless transpiling !

The transpiling is ultra lightweight , only 25 characters are added to your code.

Troubleshooting

Make sure a __build__ folder does not exist when packaging or deploying.
