async calls in javascript code example
Example 1: async awiat
const data = async () => {
const got = await fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1');
console.log(await got.json())
}
data();
Example 2: how to make an async function
function resolveAfter2Seconds() {
return new Promise(resolve => {
setTimeout(() => {
resolve('resolved');
}, 2000);
});
}
//async function:
async function asyncCall() {
console.log('calling');
const result = await resolveAfter2Seconds();
console.log(result);
// expected output: 'resolved'
}
asyncCall();
Example 3: js async await
/* Notes:
1. written like synchronous code
2. compatible with try/catch blocks
3. avoids chaining .then statements
4. async functions always return a promise
5. function pauses on each await expression
6. A non promise value is converted to
Promise.resolve(value) and then resolved
*/
// Syntax
// Function Declaration
async function myFunction(){
await ... // some code goes here
}
// Arrow Declaration
const myFunction2 = async () => {
await ... // some code goes here
}
// OBJECT METHODS
const obj = {
async getName() {
return fetch('https://www.example.com');
}
}
// IN A CLASS
class Obj {
// getters and setter CANNOT be async
async getResource {
return fetch('https://www.example.com');
}
}
Example 4: async await
async function showAvatar() {
// read
await setTimeout(resolve, 3000);
// read next 3s
}
showAvatar();
Example 5: async await javascript
myFunction().then(
function(value) { /* code if successful */ },
function(error) { /* code if some error */ }
);
