I can't make this work...it's says: await is a reserved word. Yes, of course it is...and I'd like to use :)

What's wrong ?

export const loginWithToken = async () => {

  return dispatch => {

    dispatch({type: SESSION_LOGIN_IN_PROGRESS, payload: true})

    let storedData = await ReadFromLocalDB('user')

    console.log(storedData)

    if (!storedData) {

        invalidToken(null, dispatch)

    }

    else {

        storedData = JSON.parse(storedData)

        SessionLoginWithToken(storedData.session.token).then(res => {

            console.log(res)

            loginSuccessfully(res, dispatch, true)

        })

    }

  }

}

My ReadFromLocalDB is this:

export const ReadFromLocalDB = async (key) => {

   return AsyncStorage.getItem(key)

}

it's return a promise

return dispatch => {...} needs to also be async I believe. Right now, only the top level function is async, not the nested one.

// This function is async

export const loginWithToken = async () => {

  // This one is not though which means it can't use await inside

  // return dispatch => {



  // Instead it should likely be:

  return async dispatch => {

    dispatch({type: SESSION_LOGIN_IN_PROGRESS, payload: true})

    let storedData = await ReadFromLocalDB('user')

    console.log(storedData)

    if (!storedData) {

        invalidToken(null, dispatch)

    }

    else {

        storedData = JSON.parse(storedData)

        SessionLoginWithToken(storedData.session.token).then(res => {

            console.log(res)

            loginSuccessfully(res, dispatch, true)

        })

    }

  }

}

It looks like it's because the function you return (dispatch => {...}) is not an async function, so you can't use await in it. You would need to do something like return async dispatch => {...}

With export and import we are suggested to follow the model:

To define and export a function in the file myFile.js:

export const request = async (arg1, arg2) => {

  try {

    const response = await fetch('https://api.com/values/?arg1=' + arg1 + '&arg2=' arg2);

    const json = await response.json();

    console.log(json);

  }

  catch (e) {

    console.log('We have the error', e);

  }

}

To import and apply the function:

import {request} from './myFile'



request();
