when to use async await 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: 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 4: 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 5: async and await

function delayResult() {
 return new Promise(resolve => {
   setTimeout(() => {
     resolve(‘Done’);
   }, 5000)
 })
}
async function getResult() {
 let result = await delayResult();
 return result;
}
getResult();

Example 6: 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");
