+# Do not use async actions
+## Rule `no-async-actions`
+
+Using async actions can lead to memory leaks and application errors if you 
+don't check for `isDestroying` and `isDestroyed` after each async step
+
+
+Examples of **incorrect** code for this rule:
+```js
+actions: {
+  async handleClick() {
+    // ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+```js
+actions: {
+  handleClick() {
+    return something.then(() => { /* ... */ });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+```js
+@action
+async handleClick() {
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+```js
+@action
+handleClick() {
+  return something.then(() => { /* ... */ });
+}
+```
+
+
+Examples of **correct** code for this rule:
+```js
+actions: {
+  handleClick() {
+    return nothingOrSomethingThatIsNotAPromise;
+  }
+}
+```
