what does async mean 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: 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: async await

// ASYNC will always returns promises
// NOTE : AWAIT should be kept only inside ASYNC function
// AWAIT can't be used in regular function
/* TIPS : Js is single threaded & synchronous in nature BUT, we can
          make it as asyncronous by using (ASYNC/AWAIT)*/

//(Example 1 : fetching Random Image)
async function RandomImage(){  //remember async and await is powerful for async operations, always await should be inside of async only.

  try {
    const raw_response = await fetch("https://www.themealdb.com/api/json/v1/1/random.php");
      if (!raw_response.ok) { // check for the 404 errors
          throw new Error(raw_response.status);
      }
    const json_data = await raw_response.json();  //AWAIT
    let data = json_data.meals[0];

    console.log(data);
  }
  catch (error) { // catch block for network errors
      console.log(error); 
  }
}
RandomImage();


//(Example 2 : returning another promise)
console.log("1 is working");
console.log("2 is working");
  var AsyncFunction = async() => {
    var x = new Promise((resolve,reject) => {
        setTimeout(() => resolve("3 is working"), 3000);
    });
    var result = await x;
    return result;
  }
AsyncFunction().then(resolved => console.log(resolved));
console.log("3 is working");
