Chains asynchronous functions.
- Loop through an array of functions containing asynchronous events, calling `next` when each asynchronous event has completed.
```js
const chainAsync = fns => {
let curr = 0;
const last = fns[fns.length - 1];
const next = () => {
const fn = fns[curr++];
fn === last ? fn() : fn(next);
};
next();
};
```
```js
chainAsync([
next => {
console.log('0 seconds');
setTimeout(next, 1000);
},
next => {
console.log('1 second');
setTimeout(next, 1000);
},
() => {
console.log('2 second');
}
]);
```
