render_async | render_async lets you include pages asynchronously with AJAX

I have a bash theme that displays various parts of the prompt in a lazy way. So it displays a set of information in the beginning and then lazy load information that takes time to load and rewrite the prompt from a background process.

Now since the rendering of the lazy loading is async if you move away from the current working directory to another one while the async part was not rendered we will get misplaced information in the wrong place. Example:

The async rendering function is called by:

I have managed to make my bash prompt lazy loads some components to have the feeling of an async rendering. The lazy loading function runs as a background process with (render_async &).

From the screencast below you can see how the prompt actually loads part of it right away and the other "lazy loads". However, what I noticed is that if you change the directory before the async part is loaded the new prompt gets overwritten with wrong context.

My thought process of fixing this is the following:

• Check for background process using the jobs command
• I discovered that the jobs command shows a wd:* next to processes that are not in the background of the current working directory
• Find all and kill all background processes that have that pattern to avoid this overwriting

I added a sleep to my async command to simulate that and I can see the background process hanging.
