An [async function] is a function that delivers its [result asynchronously] (through [Promise]).

This package is an variant of [extra-function], and includes methods for
transforming async functions. The result of an async function can be
manipulated with [negate]. If a pure async function is expensive, its results
can cached with [memoize]. Parameters of a function can be manipulated
with [reverse], [spread], [unspread]. [reverse] flips the order of parameters,
[spread] spreads the first array parameter of a function, and [unspread]
combines all parameters into the first parameter (array). If you want some
functional behavior, [compose], [composeRight], [curry], and [curryRight]
can be used. [composeRight] is also known as [pipe-forward operator] or
[function chaining]. If you are unfamiliar, [Haskell] is a great purely
functional language, and there is great [haskell beginner guide] to learn from.

To control invocation time of a function, use [delay]. A function can be
rate controlled with [debounce], [debounceEarly], [throttle],
[throttleEarly]. [debounce] and [debounceEarly] prevent the invocation of a
function during hot periods (when there are too many calls), and can be used
for example to issue AJAX request after user input has stopped (for certain
delay time). [throttle] and [throttleEarly] can be used to limit the rate of
invocation of a function, and can be used for example to minimize system usage
when a user is [constantly refreshing a webpage]. Except [restrict], all
rate/time control methods can be flushed (flush()) to invoke the target
function immediately, or cleared (clear()) to disable invocation of the
target function.

In addition, [is], [name], and [length] obtain metadata (about) information on
an async function. To attach a this to a function, use [bind]. A few generic
async functions are also included: [ARGUMENTS], [NOOP], [IDENTITY], [COMPARE].

This package is available in Node.js and Web formats. To use it on the web,
simply use the extra_async_function global variable after loading with a extra-async-function - npm explorer
