Release 2.14.0 requires babel

[Samuel Oltz]

It looks like forest-express started using babel back in release 2.9.0 according to the changelog but only as a dev dependency. However, it appears that release 2.14 introduced a dependency on babel in the distributed code. You can see this in routes/sessions.js and services/login-handler.js on lines 3-9. I believe this is a result of commit b4dec67 which introduced the ability to use async/await.

I would prefer not to create a dependency to babel in my app.

Expected behavior

Today went to work on an app that uses the forest-express-mongoose implementation of this. I had my version pinned to ^2.5.0 and the app was working in production. Upon starting some new work after a break, I was unable to get my forest express app working with the latest release. It was complaining of being unable to find the babel-runtime/regenerator module.

@pianomansam it is fixed in the latest liana versions (v2.13.1 for express-mongoose and v2.15.4 for express-sequelize).

Thanks for the valuable feedback!

Thanks for quickly addressing, this, @arnaudbesnier. I've tested express-mongoose v2.13.1 and it appears to be working great.
