I'd like to use Google cloud vision API. I copied the code but I'm getting the following error : SyntaxError: await is only valid in async function. 

const vision = require('@google-cloud/vision');

// Creates a client
const client = new vision.ImageAnnotatorClient();

/**
 * TODO(developer): Uncomment the following line before running the sample.
 */
const fileName = '/Tickets/leclerc.jpg';

// Performs text detection on the local file
const [result] = await client.textDetection(fileName);
const detections = result.textAnnotations;
console.log('Text:');
detections.forEach(text => console.log(text));

Any ideas on how to solve it ?

Thanks a lot

An await method needs to be enclosed into an async function, this is pretty easy to fix.

const detectLocalFile = async function() {
  const [result] = await client.textDetection(fileName);
  {...}
}
