async function fetchConfig() {
  const response = await fetch(
    `${TMDB_API_PATH}/configuration?api_key=${TMDB_API_KEY}`,
  );
  return await response.json();
}


// Async/Await requirements: Latest Chrome/FF browser or Babel: https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/transform-async-to-generator/
// Fetch requirements: Latest Chrome/FF browser or Github fetch polyfill: https://github.com/github/fetch

// async function
async function fetchAsync () {
  // await response of fetch call
  let response = await fetch('https://api.github.com');
  // only proceed once promise is resolved
  let data = await response.json();
  // only proceed once second promise is resolved
  return data;
}

// trigger async function
// log response or catch error of fetch promise
fetchAsync()
    .then(data => console.log(data))
    .catch(reason => console.log(reason.message))
