Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What does it mean for code to be asynchronous?	Instead of reading and loading code from top to bottom, the code is running and loaded in the background at different times.
Describe a piece of your code that executes asynchronously. How did this affect the way you structured it?	Certain forms and the list of trips are dynamically added through a function call that is triggered after a specific action is taken on the page (e.g. clicking the "All Trips" button). Because the list of trips is dynamically added, I had to nest the function call to drill into a specific trip within the getTrips function, but I had to define the function to get the details about a specific trip before I defined the function to get all Trips.
What kind of errors might the API give you? How did you choose to handle them?	I chose to include a .fail promise to show a console message iff the API's server goes down, or there is missing data.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?

Overall

For the comp Q on async:
Regarding asynchronous code, anything that runs at some unspecified time in the future is asynchronous, including everything from AJAX success / failure callbacks to button click handlers.

Not sure what the continents array is used for, but because you call trip.continent.toLowerCase(), the code breaks and it stops listing trips after a null continent on some trip.

Overall good job with the project, glad you got to work on adding a new trip

This particular form doesn't have any HTML that needs to be dynamically generated. Since the form will look the same in all cases, you may consider having this on the html already, and just using jQuery to hide()/show() it when appropriate

if trip.continent is null, the code breaks. Surprisingly enough, if you change the order of this conditional, then it'll work:

if (trip.continent && !continents.includes(trip.continent.toLowerCase())) {

In a conditional with an &&, if trip.continent is falsey, it won't bother evaluating the rest of the conditional
