javascript async functions .use code example

Example 1: 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 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');
	}
}
