Async is a utility module which provides straight-forward, powerful functions for working with [asynchronous JavaScript](http://caolan.github.io/async/v3/global.html). Although originally designed for use with [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) and installable via `npm i async`, it can also be used directly in the browser. An ESM/MJS version is included in the main `async` package that should automatically be used with compatible bundlers such as Webpack and Rollup.
A pure ESM version of Async is available as [`async-es`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/async-es).

```javascript// for use with Node-style callbacks...var async = require("async");
var obj = {dev: "/dev.json", test: "/test.json", prod: "/prod.json"};var configs = {};
async.forEachOf(obj, (value, key, callback) => { fs.readFile(__dirname + value, "utf8", (err, data) => { if (err) return callback(err); try { configs[key] = JSON.parse(data); } catch (e) { return callback(e); } callback(); });}, err => { if (err) console.error(err.message); // configs is now a map of JSON data doSomethingWith(configs);});```
```javascriptvar async = require("async");
// ...or ES2017 async functionsasync.mapLimit(urls, 5, async function(url) { const response = await fetch(url) return response.body}, (err, results) => { if (err) throw err // results is now an array of the response bodies console.log(results)})```
