Using async and await with export const

With export and import we are suggested to follow the model:

To define and export a function in the file myFile.js:

export const request = async (arg1, arg2) => {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.com/values/?arg1=' + arg1 + '&arg2=' arg2);
    const json = await response.json();
    console.log(json);
  }
  catch (e) {
    console.log('We have the error', e);
  }
}

To import and apply the function:

import {request} from './myFile'

request(arg1, arg2);

return dispatch => {...} needs to also be async I believe. Right now, only the top level function is async, not the nested one.

// This function is async
export const loginWithToken = async () => {
  // This one is not though which means it can't use await inside
  // return dispatch => {

  // Instead it should likely be:
  return async dispatch => {
    dispatch({type: SESSION_LOGIN_IN_PROGRESS, payload: true})
    let storedData = await ReadFromLocalDB('user')
    console.log(storedData)
    if (!storedData) {
        invalidToken(null, dispatch)
    }
    else {
        storedData = JSON.parse(storedData)
        SessionLoginWithToken(storedData.session.token).then(res => {
            console.log(res)
            loginSuccessfully(res, dispatch, true)
        })
    }
  }
}

It looks like it's because the function you return (dispatch => {...}) is not an async function, so you can't use await in it. You would need to do something like return async dispatch => {...}
