Getting there…
• Readable, synchronous program flow • Nonblocking • Use native
flow control constructs
async function fetchCustomerNameForOrder(orderId) { try { const order = await
fetchOrder(orderId); const customer = await fetchCustomer(order.customerId); return customer.name; } catch (err) { logError(err); throw err; } }
async function fetchCustomerNameForOrder(orderId) { try { const order = await
fetchOrder(orderId); const customer = await fetchCustomer(order.customerId); return customer.name; } catch (err) { logError(err); throw err; } }
async function fetchCustomerNameForOrder(orderId) { try { const order = await
fetchOrder(orderId); const customer = await fetchCustomer(order.customerId); return customer.name; } catch (err) { logError(err); throw err; } }
async function fetchCustomerNameForOrder(orderId) { try { const order = await
fetchOrder(orderId); const customer = await fetchCustomer(order.customerId); return customer.name; } catch (err) { logError(err); throw err; } }

Await

Exceptional Situations
async function printOrder(orderId) { try { const order = await
fetchOrder(orderId); console.log(order); } catch (e) { console.log('Error retrieving order', e); } }
async function printOrder(orderId) { try { const order = await

function fetchOrder(orderId) { return fetch(`/orders/${orderId}`) .then(resp => { if (resp.status
=== 404) { throw new Error('Order not found'); } return resp.json(); }); }
function fetchOrder(orderId) { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { $.get(`/orders/${orderId}`)
.done(order => resolve(order)) .fail(resp => { if (resp.status === 404) { reject(new Error('Order not found')); } }); }); }

Regain Control
async function findOrCreateOrder(orderId) { let order; if (await orderExists(orderId)) {
order = await fetchOrder(orderId); } else { order = await createOrder(); } return order; }
async function findOrCreateOrder(orderId) { let order; if (await orderExists(orderId)) {

const order = await fetchOrder(id); console.log(order); } }
async function printOrders(orderIds) { for (const id of orderIds) {
const order = await fetchOrder(id); console.log(order); } }
async function printOrders(orderIds) { for (const id of orderIds) {
const order = await fetchOrder(id); console.log(order); } } Problem?
async function printOrders(orderIds) { for (const id of orderIds) {
const order = await fetchOrder(id); console.log(order); } } printOrders([1, 2, 3]);
printOrders([1, 2, 3]); await fetchOrder(1); await fetchOrder(2); await fetchOrder(3);
printOrders([1, 2, 3]); await fetchOrder(1); await fetchOrder(2); await fetchOrder(3);
printOrders([1, 2, 3]); await fetchOrder(1); await fetchOrder(2); await fetchOrder(3);
async function printOrders(orderIds) { const orders = await Promise.all( orderIds.map(fetchOrder)
); orders.forEach(order => console.log(order)); }
async function printOrders(orderIds) { const orders = await Promise.all( orderIds.map(fetchOrder)
