This is how I am using fast-async in my main.jsx file (which itself doesn't have any 'real' use of async/await inside it, so I put some dummy code in there)...
// TOP OF main.jsx
// https://github.com/MatAtBread/fast-async#runtimepattern
// Note: At least one of the file(s) matching the "runtimePattern" must use either await or async
// as the runtime function (or require('nodent-runtime') if you set "useRuntimeModule":true) is
// only included for files that reference it.
"use runtime-nodent";
// fake async function to trigger inclusion of fast-async runtime.
(async () => { });
which for my build gets transpiled into Promise-based code, but because this anonymous function is not used, it can get removed by a code minifier.
And a snip from my webpack config:
plugins: [
// web needs to use Promises for async/await support (basically to support IE11)
// use fast-async because it is Promise based and not generator based
// (IE doesn't support generators)
["fast-async", {
"runtimePattern": "main\\.jsx",
}],
