Investigate using async view for message endpoint

[adamghill]

Once Django 3.1 and async views are available, see how hard it would be to use an async view if configured.

@adamghill Do you have any news about using async views with Unicorn ?

[hyusetiawan]

is there any update to using async? Especially using it in the actions. I tried it and it's throwing an error as you might already know. I am using 0.52.0

I haven't looked into async other than the initial commit above to set up a way to prototype it. Can you create a PR with an initial use case? That would give me a good starting place.

[hyusetiawan]

it's pretty straight forward to set up actually. Just have an async action like so:

from asyncio import sleep
async def submit_form(self):
    sleep(3)
    self.text = 'done'

right now, we can actually make it work by decorating it using async_to_sync decorator
