asynchronous and await function javascript code example
Example 1: async await javascript
function hello() {
return new Promise((resolve,reject) => {
setTimeout(() => {
resolve('I am adam.');
}, 2000);
});
}
async function async_msg() {
try {
let msg = await hello();
console.log(msg);
}
catch(e) {
console.log('Error!', e);
}
}
async_msg(); //output - I am adam.
Example 2: 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
