I love this nifty asyncHandler middleware so that we don't have to write out try/catch each time.
Just wondering if it would be possible to mount this middleware with app.use(), so we didn't even have to wrap each function in the route handlers later on.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 84,738 PointsI was thinking of this kind of middleware but I guess that's a different kind of error handling.
