what is the point of returning the response here? that will do nothin i think. maybe we should find a better example what to do.

like updating a file or database with the contents of a json response

Don't know, really. I copied this from the tutorial. 😉

we should avoid duplication between doc. keep the tutorial minimal, or use a partial if the same example really makes sense (or just link)

also, some redundancy in a tutorial chapter is ok - the references serve a different purpose and a tutorial without code examples and tons of links is not helpful. ideally the tutorial will "tell a story". it could mention working with promise as a side note as a tutorial on promise would be a large topic of its own...

True: the tutorial should be a kind of story that is easy to follow. Too many links will distract too much and disrupt the flow.

Well, duplication is bad from two points of view: content and maintenance. The former is arguable: for the sake of completeness, it might be good. If we can utilize partials to avoid maintenance of duplication, that's at least a half win.

okay. but can we turn this into a minimal useful example? like write the response body into a file? returning something makes no sense at all.

great, thanks for starting this! |

maybe we should mention that you could do several async requests in parallel and then wait for each (allowing the other requests to resolve while we wait)

Isn't this happening in the batch client?

Good point, as that is usually the idea of doing asynchronous requests.

Let’s document this in a separate Batch client chapter.

okay. we can add a note in this chapter when we add the batch client chapter.

ups, already merged, but: @joelwurtz does returning the response make any sense here or should we just file_put_contents for the example? i assume the thing resolving the promise is not handling any return values?
