express-async-wrapped v1.0.4

express-async-wrapped

Function that turns an async (promise) function into a function that can be passed to express.js as a handler. Rejections will get forwarded to express.

The function exported by this module can be used to wrap any express.js handler type:

• Route handlers.
• Param handlers.
• Middleware.
• Error-handling middleware.
• Arrays of any of the above.

Quick start

const asyncWrap = require('express-async-wrapped');

router.get('/foo', asyncWrap(async (req, res) => {
    res.json(await getSomeData(req));
}));

router.use(asyncWrap(async (req, res, next) => {
    // await ...

    next();
}));

router.param('foo', asyncWrap(async (req, res, next, id) => {
    req.foo = await getTheFoo(id);
    next();
}));

router.use(asyncWrap(async (err, req, res, next) => {
    // await ...

    res.status(500).end();
}));
