Read the code

Chaining + parallel composition
// Flat chain, single error path
fetch('/api/user')
  .then(r => r.json())
  .then(user => fetch('/api/orders/' + user.id))
  .then(r => r.json())
  .catch(err => console.error('any step failed:', err));

// Run independent work in parallel:
const [a, b] = await Promise.all([fetch('/a'), fetch('/b')]);
