In most programming languages, most functions are synchronous: a call to the function does all of its business in the same thread of execution. For functions meant to retrieve data, this means the data can be returned by calls to the function.

For an asynchronous function, a call to the function triggers business in some other thread, and that business (usually) does not complete until after the call returns. An asynchronous function that retrieves data via another thread cannot directly return the data to the caller because the data is not necessarily ready by the time the function returns.

In a sense, asynchronous functions are infectious: if a function foo calls an asynchronous function to conclude its business, then foo itself is asynchronous. Once you rely upon an asynchronous function to do your work, you cannot somehow remove the asynchronicity.

When the business initiated by an asynchronous function completes, we may want to run some code in response, so the code run

export const GoogleApi = function(opts) {
  opts = opts || {}

  const apiKey = opts.apiKey;
  const libraries = opts.libraries || [];
  const client = opts.client;
  const URL = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js';

  const googleVersion = '3.22';
  let script = null;

## How to hide API keys from github ##

1. If you have already pushed commits with sensitive data, follow this guide to remove the sensitive info while 
retaining your commits: https://help.github.com/articles/remove-sensitive-data/

2. In the terminal, create a config.js file and open it up:

touch config.js
atom config.js

JavaScript Crypto Libraries

List some crypto libraries for JavaScript out there. Might be a bit out dated. Scroll to the bottom.

WebCryptoAPI

http://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI/

This specification describes a JavaScript API for performing basic cryptographic operations in web applications, such as hashing, signature generation and verification, and encryption and decryption. Additionally, it describes an API for applications to generate and/or manage the keying material necessary to perform these operations. Uses for this API range from user or service authentication, document or code signing, and the confidentiality and integrity of communications.
