Does not work with async functions

[dgreene1]

Any news on this?

@mattbrunetti hi, have you found any way to fix it/work around it?

[schmod]

Hooooooboy. I'll have to take a look.

I have not run tests against the presets that include support for async functions. IIRC, we've run into the _x issue before, as Babel's promise to run plugins before presets isn't actually respected in some cases.

@gdaszuta @mattbrunetti Just curious: What is your use-case for this. Does Angular even know what to do with an async function?

[mattbrunetti]

@schmod We were trying to use async functions in resolve functions used with angular-ui-router. These functions are called with $injector.invoke() and are expected to return a promise. I don't think Angular's invoke function needs to do anything special with them or even be aware that they're async.

@gdaszuta We determined two workarounds.. (a) avoid using async functions, or (b) separate into two functions: the injected function and the async function. example:

Instead of this ...

resolve: {
  async someResource (someService) {
    'ngInject'
    // ...
  }
}

... do this ...

resolve: {
  someResource (someService) {
    'ngInject'
    return (async () => {
      // ...
    })()
  }
}

@LM-G 2019 and you're using Angular 1?

[LM-G]

@zenflow Sadly, yes :( . I just joined an organization which is migrating an old ng1 app to a new fancy one with VueJS.

one with VueJS.

Please let us know how that worked out :D
