I am trying to implement an asynchronous piece of code using "async await". But the Suitecommerce documentation states use of ECMASCRIPT 5.1 which does not contain the async await keywords. They were introduced in ECMASCRIPT 2017.
https://developers.suitecommerce.com/getting-started.html
My implementation is working as expected. Is its use encouraged or discouraged?
We are using SuiteCommerce 2020.2.7 and the latest Extension Developer Tools

04/23/2021, 3:21 PMAh you're right. Sorry. My setup dumps my typescript project as a require module into the workspace extension folder.
