[nodemon] starting node ./bin/www`
/webapp/todo-api/controllers/todos.controller.js:6
exports.getTodos = async function(req, res, next){
^^^^^^^^

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.
@redkarsanket Yes you're right, It won't work on NodeJS versions prior to 7.6 .
@staminna Have you followed all these steps ?
-
Run
npm installto install all the dependencies. -
Run
npm install -g nodemonto install Nodemon Globally. -
Run
npm startto run the NodeJS Server.
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.
