// A contrived example of making a set of API calls to get a list of

// things around a user's location. We first check thst the user is signed 

// in, then update the user's location and then retreive a list of things.

//

// In the real world, probabky no API would behave like this but here we

// are just trying to illustrate how much better this ES2015+ javascript

// is over the ES5 Example we have also shared.

//

// Not seen that? its here: https://jsbin.com/dadena/edit?js,console

  const {data} = await http.get('/location/things', { user });
