Sequential Execution and Iteration with Async/Await
Explore how to handle sequential execution and iteration in Node.js using async/await. Understand the simplicity and effectiveness of async/await for flattening asynchronous code and managing errors. Learn to avoid common pitfalls like using forEach for async iteration and enhance your asynchronous control flow skills for cleaner, more readable code.
We'll cover the following...
Our exploration of control flow patterns with async/await starts with sequential execution and iteration.
Execution
We already mentioned a few times that the core strength of async/await lies in its ability to make asynchronous serial execution easy to write and straightforward to read. This was already apparent in all the code samples we’ve written so far; however, it’ll become even more obvious now that we’ll start converting our web spider version 2. Async/await is so simple to use and understand that there are really no patterns here to study. So, let’s get straight to ...
