bar = -> \bar

foo-bar = ->
    foo! + await bar!

foo = async function(){
  return 'foo';
};
bar = function(){

fooBar = async function(){
  return foo() + (await bar());
};

Installation

npm i -D livescript-transform-implicit-async

Usage

require! <[ livescript livescript-transform-implicit-async/register]>
foo = Promise.resolve \foo
bar = Promise.resolve \bar
foo-bar = -> "#{await foo} #{await bar}"

and in simple use in js file

require ('livescript-transform-implicit-async/register')
require ('main') // this is livescript file

## CLI
Please stop using cli for any serious task, write scripts in **real** languages (there are so many to choose) e.g.  

    lsc serious-task.ls  
    node serious-task.js
    python serious-task.py

If you really must to use cli just add require plugin file to the command.  
But don't say I didn't warn you!

compiling

    lsc -cr livescript-transform-implicit-async/register app.ls


running

    node -r livescript-transform-implicit-async/register app.ls
