how async await works in javascript code example
Example 1: async await
const data = async () => {
const got = await fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1');
console.log(await got.json())
}
data();
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
*/
// 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 3: javascript async await
// The await operator in JavaScript can only be used from inside an async function.
// If the parameter is a promise, execution of the async function will resume when the promise is resolved
// (unless the promise is rejected, in which case an error will be thrown that can be handled with normal JavaScript exception handling).
// If the parameter is not a promise, the parameter itself will be returned immediately.[13]
// Many libraries provide promise objects that can also be used with await,
// as long as they match the specification for native JavaScript promises.
// However, promises from the jQuery library were not Promises/A+ compatible until jQuery 3.0.[14]
async function createNewDoc() {
let response = await db.post({}); // post a new doc
return await db.get(response.id); // find by id
}
async function main() {
try {
let doc = await createNewDoc();
console.log(doc);
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
}
}
main();
Example 4: async await javascript
myFunction().then(
function(value) { /* code if successful */ },
function(error) { /* code if some error */ }
);
