Async javascript self loading function
Async Javascript
async is the new callback.
Self Calling Function
A self calling asynchronous function in Javascript
I use this when I need to run a single bit of code and I need it to be asynchronous. So for example this could be all by itself in index.js and I can run it using node index.js
function someAsyncFunction() {
return 'results from someAsyncFunction()';
}
(async ()=>{
console.log('I am asynchronous!');
let result = await someAsyncFunction();
console.log({result});
console.log('done!');
})();
