babel/transform-get-rid-of-async-await

Turn async functions into non-async functions.

Why would you ever do that? I'm building a generic testing wrapper that allows me to reuse the same pageobjects for enzyme/chimp/cypress.io/webdriverio. The idea is that in tests I only use page objects, and the underlying implementation of them is hidden from a user. Unfortunately, some of the API - like cypress.io or chimp 1.0 or not async/await compatible, while for enzyme it's a must. This way I can use the same code in both, by using different BABEL_ENV.

Example

In

async function foo() {
  await bar();
}

Out

function foo() {
  bar();
}

Installation

npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-get-rid-of-async-await
