Asynchronous Models (data for the views)

Models can build complex datastructures asynchronously. This is done by returning a Promise instead of a plain object. The resolved Promise should return an object.

Example asynchronous model-file /models/index.js

'use strict';

const markdown = require('itsa-react-server/lib/markdown'),

const model = async (request, reply, modelConfig, language /* , manifest */) => {
    const pagecontent = await markdown.readFile('../markdowns/'+language+'/appfile-content.MD'); // asynchronous

    // models need to return an object
    // these objects are available at the view as `this.props`
    // note that markdown returns an object like this: {__html: 'some content'}
    return {
        pagecontent,
        count: 10
    };
};
