I'll be doing a lot more reading up on all of this now that I think I'm scraping at what you're saying...

My code has consistently worked up to a recent project - I wrote a function to update state which returns successfully but doesn't produce the desired side-effects. I'm almost certain now it has to do with an unresolved promise somewhere.

I actually scrapped it and chose a different approach, fearing it might be an API bug with the component since I had successfully implemented a similar solution elsewhere in my app.

Thanks for your post and reply - I'm just now getting to the level of confidence to even reach out to other developers, so I really appreciate your thoughtful response!

EDIT: I took one 'await' out of my init function just to see if I was understanding things right - and it still works, but faster by a factor of 3! Thanks again :D
