Notes on Javascript async and await

-
MDN has a very good page on async (and await ) . Having read them the MDN page plus a bunch of other tutorials, here are my key takeaways: In general: async and await are just a nicer syntax for working with promises. So learn promises. Understand promises. And then use async and await to make your promise-using code look nicer. About async : Putting async  in front of a function definition allows you to use await inside that function. Putting async in front of a function definition  also wraps the function's return value in a promise, if the return value wasn't a promise already. So if my function gets data via a promise and then extracts and transforms the data before returning it,  I can just return my transformed data and let async magically re-promise-ify the data for me. :-) About await : await lets me use functions that return promises, but write code that looks synchronous, i.e.the code looks as if the function that returns a promise was an old fa...

React-Redux: "Container Component" is Plumbing

-
I think I understand the pieces now... React Functional Components: Are the preferred kind of component we write in React-Redux Are functions that take a "props" object Are the preferred way to output visual stuff and wire up events The Redux Store: Has all the state which we can display Has the dispatch(action) method, which is the only way to change state Your Mission (should you choose to accept it): Use the state and the dispactch(action) function Create props which are data values needed by the functional component Create props which are event handlers that call dispatch(action) The Locations: mapStateToProps : Here you get the state and return props which are just data mapDispatchToProps : Here you get the dispatch function and return props which call it And then React-Redux's "connect" function magically combines the mapping functions and your functional component into a new component which you elsewhere. ---------------------...
