asynchExpress

Simple Node/Express app to demonstrate calling an asyncronous function (like a http get or db lookup) in an express middleware function and setting a returned value in the request object so that all routes will have access to it.

Other cool stuff

1. Uses ES6 via Babel
2. Uses Flow for type checking
3. Uses Jest for tests (even snapshot tests a JSON return value)
4. Uses Eslint

Let me know if you dig it :-)
