async and await in javascript mdn code example
Example 1: 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 2: javscript async await explained
// Promise approach
function getJSON(){
// To make the function blocking we manually create a Promise.
return new Promise( function(resolve) {
axios.get('https://tutorialzine.com/misc/files/example.json')
.then( function(json) {
// The data from the request is available in a .then block
// We return the result using resolve.
resolve(json);
});
});
}
// Async/Await approach
// The async keyword will automatically create a new Promise and return it.
async function getJSONAsync(){
// The await keyword saves us from having to write a .then() block.
let json = await axios.get('https://tutorialzine.com/misc/files/example.json');
// The result of the GET request is available in the json variable.
// We return it just like in a regular synchronous function.
return json;
}
Example 3: async await js
fetch('coffee.jpg')
.then(response => {
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
} else {
return response.blob();
}
})
.then(myBlob => {
let objectURL = URL.createObjectURL(myBlob);
let image = document.createElement('img');
image.src = objectURL;
document.body.appendChild(image);
})
.catch(e => {
console.log('There has been a problem with your fetch operation: ' + e.message);
});
