class Controller {
    async getUser(username) {
        return User.find({username});
    }
}


module.exports = new Controller();

getUser is unexpected identifier

Why, it works in babel fine.

What version of node are you using? Sidenote: You'd usually `export default Controller` – baao Aug 30 '17 at 07:55
what about module.exports – Muhammad Umer Aug 30 '17 at 07:56

async/await is available since node.js v7.6 – Orelsanpls Aug 30 '17 at 08:13
works with 7.4 https://repl.it/K7Ux/0 – Alex Blex Aug 30 '17 at 08:31
i've got 6.4 version – Muhammad Umer Aug 30 '17 at 20:12
Either you upgrade your Node version or you configure Babel to work together with Node. – MarcoL Sep 01 '17 at 12:36
ok upgraded, it works. But `export default abc;` still wont work – Muhammad Umer Sep 01 '17 at 13:29
