Just opening this as I'm actively working on it. It's not passing all tests yet

thank you @thumptech can you please add a quick description on how it differs from #752 or if it attempts to achieve the same, I would be glad to review and test, once ready

I just took that branch (feature/async) and started working on it. I needed custom validation to be async for my application so I've just added the changes to make it work. All validation calls need to use promises now, so this is totally breaking as is mentioned in #752, and I'll have to follow through the collection2 and probably autoform packages I am assuming.

As far as I can tell, it's trying to achieve the same goal, just with async custom validation functions added as a requirement; as I need to access other collections to do validation in my main application.

@thumptech thanks for clarification and yes, its assumed to be breaking. ping me if you need reviews

@jankapunkt I've moved onto updating my main application for now. The simple-schema, collection2 and autoform packages I have made PR for are working in that application. If I can get a list of requirements for getting this ready to be a release canditate or alpha test or whatever that would be great - I've never done a pull request properly before so I'm not really sure of all the requirements. I didn't want to end up with my own private forks of all of these packages as they seem to still be in common use as far as I can tell.

I'm guessing I need to clean this up enough to be a 3.0.0-rc1 version on atmosphere so that it can be pulled in by the collection2 5.0.0-rc1, get that done and then finally autoform 9.0.0-rc1 would be able to pass tests as it can pull packages from atmosphere for its bespoke test application.

Thanks for running that @jankapunkt. I'll fix that up and push the changes soon. That one about the await calls on the reactivity tests actually doesn't matter, as a we are looking for the reactive result, not the promise result, but I'd best appease the bot.
