What does this API do? #2

Closed littledan closed 4 years ago

littledan commented 4 years ago

The description of the problem space and priorities in the README is great. For the solution, I see a signature of the classes and some high-level explanation of their role, but it'd be great to also have an explanation of what each of the classes represents in a bit more detail, and what each of the methods do. Right now, it's hard for me to understand.

I guess the api is same as https://nodejs.org/api/async_hooks.html#async_hooks_class_asynclocalstorage .

Yes, the API is similar to the current implementation in Node.js. I'll update the document text to reflect that, and point out the differences.

The current explainer shows this very well. Good work!
