Warm-Up: Async

Setup

• On each day, create a new branch of this repository with the date
  • e.g., 11-22-2018
• Create a JS file with the same date name
  • e.g., 11-22-2018.js
• Follow the instructions below in that folder
• Timebox this to 1 hour
• Create a PR from that branch to master

Warm-Up Exercises

Before You Start ... complete the daily warm-up

This exercise is designed to ensure that you have a solid grasp on async programming in javascript as well as to re-use some of core programming concepts of the language and managing basic data structures.

• Write a function called fetchPeopleWithPromises() that will:

  • Use superagent to load content from the Star Wars API
    • https://swapi.co/api/people/
  • Reduce the results array (an array of people objects) into an simpler array of urls from the person's url property
  • Go through that array, fetching each person's data with superagent, building up an array of promises
  • Use promise.all to collect all of the responses at once.
  • When all of the promises have resolved, print a list of each person's name

• Repeat the process, but this time using a function called fetchPeopleWithAsync() which uses async and await to return you a list of people
