Passing in Async functions to Node.js Express.js router

Question

I think you can't do it directly because exceptions are not caught and the function won't return if one is thrown. This article explains how to create a wrapper function to make it work: http://thecodebarbarian.com/using-async-await-with-mocha-express-and-mongoose.html

I haven't tried it but was investigating this recently.
