Using async/await for Meteor.Method calls on the client

[suhail-ansari-apconic]

Shouldn't we move all the meteor method call to use async/await as with 1.3 the ecmascript package will also enable its support. That should make method calls much more cleaner.

Does it support async-await. Where can I see more on this?

[suhail-ansari-apconic]

I read it in their feature list for 1.3. Let me see if I can find it.

meteor/meteor#5460

This is where I read it.

Here is another thread discussing the same thing

Yes Meteor 1.3 has full support for the async/await keywords, I was able to run a test similar to what @suhail-ansari-apconic is recommending here: https://github.com/mquandalle/meteor-promisify-core/blob/74b331ac313f80081f7a92828a98b7ab99415eaf/promisify-core-tests.js#L18

That's great.

That's awesome, I've been eager to jump into async/await, although I will miss my promise chains.
