retrieve user'); } else { console.log(user); } });
}); }); }); }); }); }); Callback Callback Callback Callback

function fetchCustomerNameForOrder(orderId, done, fail) { fetchOrder(orderId, function(err, order) { if

Async API ?
Promise function fetchCustomerNameForOrder(orderId) { return fetchOrder(orderId) .then(order => fetchCustomer(order.customerId)) .then(customer
=> customer.name); }
.then(...) .then(...) .then(...) .then(...) .then(...) .then(...) .then(...) .then(...)

function fetchCustomerNameForOrder(orderId) { return fetchOrder(orderId) .then(order => fetchCustomer(order.customerId)) .then(customer =>

Getting there…
• More readable and maintainable • Synchronous-looking but nonblocking •
Use native flow control constructs • More declarative and versatile
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
function fetchOrder(orderId) { return fetch(`/orders/${orderId}`) .then(response => response.json()); } function
printOrder(orderId) { fetchOrder(orderId) .then(order => console.log(order)); }
function fetchOrder(orderId) { return fetch(`/orders/${orderId}`) .then(response => response.json()); } async
function printOrder(orderId) { const order = await fetchOrder(orderId); console.log(order); }
async printOrder(orderId) { const order = await fetchOrder(orderId); console.log(order); }
fetchOrder(orderId) order
async printOrder(orderId) { const order = await fetchOrder(orderId); console.log(order); }
await
async printOrder(orderId) { const order = await fetchOrder(orderId); console.log(order); }
await order
await order
await order
async printOrder(orderId) { const order = await fetchOrder(orderId); console.log(order); }
?
async function printOrder(orderId) { const order = await fetchOrder(orderId); console.log(order);
} printOrder(1); Invoke
async function printOrder(orderId) { const order = await fetchOrder(orderId); console.log(order);
} printOrder(1); Encounter await
async function printOrder(orderId) { const order = await fetchOrder(orderId); console.log(order);
} printOrder(1); Wrap in Promise.resolve
Wrap in Promise.resolve async function printOrder(orderId) { const promise =
Promise.resolve(fetchOrder(orderId)); console.log(order); } printOrder(1);
async function printOrder(orderId) { const promise = Promise.resolve(fetchOrder(orderId)); console.log(order); }
printOrder(1); Wrap rest with then callback
async function printOrder(orderId) { const promise = Promise.resolve(fetchOrder(orderId)); return promise.then(order

async function printOrder(orderId) { const promise = Promise.resolve(fetchOrder(orderId)); return promise.then(order

async function meaningOfLife() { return 42; } meaningOfLife() === 42;
???
async function meaningOfLife() { return 42; } function meaningOfLife() {
return Promise.resolve(42); } meaningOfLife() .then(answer => answer === 42);
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
fetchOrder(orderId); console.log(order); } catch (e) { console.log('Error retrieving order', e); } } ?
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')); } }); }); }
Error Error Error Error
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)) {
order = await fetchOrder(orderId); } else { order = await createOrder(); } return 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); } }
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);
Order is important
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)
); orders.forEach(order => console.log(order)); }
printOrders([1, 2, 3]); await Promise.all([ fetchOrder(1), fetchOrder(2), fetchOrder(3) ]);
