I am also getting the same error. Which Node.js version you are using? Author mention in his article that "Another important point — We won’t be using callbacks, We even won’t be using traditional Promises. We are going to use the great async-await feature introduced in NodeJS 7.6."

So i think this may be the problem with Node.js version. I have Node.js 6.10.0 on my machine.

staminna commented 6 years ago

I am using Node.js v8.0

nomanHasan commented 6 years ago

@redkarsanket Yes you're right, It won't work on NodeJS versions prior to 7.6 .

@staminna Have you followed all these steps ?

It should be working fine after this.

Are you sure you're using the correct NodeJS version ?

The error unexpected token function <- Means that NodeJS can't recognize the token async function there, Which usually happens because the NodeJS version doesn't support async-await. Please run a node --version to see which version you're using.

If it's still showing 8.0, You can try reinstalling the latest NodeJS.

Installing at least node 8.1.4 worked for me @redkarsanket, though now there is another issue. Will open new one.
