Awesome work @storyteller.

I found that there is still an issue with async before hooks.

When you change a field in the doc, depending on the response of an async function it wont set the field to that value, for example.

Tickets.before.insert(async function ticketsBeforeInsert(userId, doc) {
  doc.idNumber = await incrementCounter(`PQR::${doc.orgId}`);
});

I have been trying to find a way for this to work, but have failed multiple times. Do you have any hints?

Update: Actually just found how to do it, will make a PR for this.
