await-outside

A better Node REPL for asynchronous exploration

Inspired by https://github.com/princejwesley/Mancy.

From This

$ node
> const request = require('superagent')
undefined
> request.get('https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes').
... query({key: 'NOT_A_VALID_API_KEY'}).
... query({q: 'paul auster'}).
... then(r => r.body)
Promise { <pending> }

To This

$ await-outside
> const request = require('superagent')
undefined
> await request.get('https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes').
... query({key: 'NOT_A_VALID_API_KEY'}).
... query({q: 'paul auster'}).
... then(r => r.body)
