Calling async functions

[joshleblanc]

Apologies for asking a question in issues, but there's no mini_racer tag on SO.

If I had an async function that I wanted to call from ruby, how would I do this?

Assuming my bundle correctly polyfills promises/async/await, and I have a function

async function asyncFunction() {
  await doSomething();
  return "thing";
}

Is it possible to call this from ruby, and return "thing"?

Yeah looks like we don't have promise resolution in our interop layer so the value is hidden.

What you would need to do here have a non async function resolve the promise somehow and invoke the non async thing.

I am not against building some specific async promise interop but we don't have anything now

Were able to do this, although we have to resolve the promise in Ruby. Our promises may be polyfilled by Babel but I'm not sure exactly.

Hi, is there some update on this?
