asynchronous function 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: async await

async function showAvatar() {

  // read our JSON
  let response = await fetch('/article/promise-chaining/user.json');
  let user = await response.json();

  // read github user
  let githubResponse = await fetch(`https://api.github.com/users/${user.name}`);
  let githubUser = await githubResponse.json();

  // show the avatar
  let img = document.createElement('img');
  img.src = githubUser.avatar_url;
  img.className = "promise-avatar-example";
  document.body.append(img);

  // wait 3 seconds
  await new Promise((resolve, reject) => setTimeout(resolve, 3000));

  img.remove();

  return githubUser;
}

showAvatar();

Example 3: 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 4: 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 5: async

function resolveAfter2Seconds() {
  return new Promise(resolve => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      resolve('resolved');
    }, 2000);
  });
}

async function asyncCall() {
  console.log('calling');
  const result = await resolveAfter2Seconds();
  console.log(result);
  // expected output: 'resolved'
}

asyncCall();

Example 6: asynchronous javascript

console.log ('Starting');
let image;

fetch('coffee.jpg').then((response) => {
  console.log('It worked :)')
  return response.blob();
}).then((myBlob) => {
  let objectURL = URL.createObjectURL(myBlob);
  image = document.createElement('img');
  image.src = objectURL;
  document.body.appendChild(image);
}).catch((error) => {
  console.log('There has been a problem with your fetch operation: ' + error.message);
});

console.log ('All done!');
