async function getCountries() {
  const countries = ['scotland', 'australia'],
  ];
  return await asyncForEach(countries, country => {
    const response = await fetch(`/api/countries/${country}`);
    return await response.json();
  });
}

asyncMap

Asyncronous Map function, enabling multiple map iterations to be wrapped in one completion promise.

  return await asyncMap(countries, country => {
    return {
      ...country,
      visited: true,
    };
  });
}

pick

Creates an object composed of the picked object properties.
