async/await jquery animate
0
I want to chain Jquery animations and for the sake of readability I'd like to keep my code "vertical" not "horizontal".
Here's what I've done but does not work:
async function close(id){
return $(id).slideUp().promise();
}
async function shrink(id){
return $(id).animate({width: '50%'}).promise();
}
[...]
function update(){
await close("#myDiv");
await shrink("#myDiv");
doSomething();
}
But I get an error: Syntax Error: await is only valid in async functions [...]
I know I can chain Jquery animations (foo().bar()) or use these functions' callbacks but my question really is about async/await
javascript jquery async-await

The reason you get a error is because a JS-file is not "async" at the top-level. This answer here provides a great description: stackoverflow.com/a/46515787/1514875
