A modern JavaScript tooling library for asynchronous operations using async/await, promises and async generators.

This library is a modernized alternative to a lot of libraries like Async.js that were created using the legacy callback style to handle asynchronous operations. Its goal is to be as complete as any of those libraries while being built from the very beginning with async/await and promises in mind.

See the documentation.

  • Exclusively uses async/await, promises and async generators in its code, tests and documentation.
  • Has low bundle size.
  • Has 100% code coverage.
  • Bundled for ESM modules, CommonJS and UMD.
  • Works in node >= 8 and in the vast majority of browsers (very old browser compatibility can be achieved using Babel and shims).
  • Has Typescript support.
