11:40 - Async Do

  • https://github.com/tc39/proposal-async-do-expressions
  • Async do will allow you to group together a block of code and mark it as async.
  • No need for an iife
  • Downside to this is that it’s a code block, so if you need to return any values, you’ll need to jump that up a scope level.
Promise.all([ async do { let result = await fetch('thing A'); await result.json(); }, async do { let result = await fetch('thing B'); await result.json(); }, ]).then(([a, b]) => console.log([a, b]));
