js write an run an async function 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: 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();
