  return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
    request(url, function (error, res, body) {
      if (!error && res.statusCode == 200) {
        resolve(body);
      } else {
        reject(error);
      }

async function showAvatar() {

  // read our JSON
  let response = await fetch('/article/promise-chaining/user.json');

  let githubResponse = await fetch(`https://api.github.com/users/${user.name}`);

  let img = document.createElement('img');
  img.src = githubUser.avatar_url;
