async and await in JavaScript
- async and await are used to handle asynchronous
operations in JavaScript. They provide a more readable and
synchronous-style approach to working with promises,
making asynchronous code easier to manage and understand.
async Keyword
- The async keyword is used to declare a function that
always returns a promise.
- Even if the function does not explicitly return a
promise, it automatically wraps the return value in a
promise.
await Keyword
- The await keyword can only be used inside an async
function.
- It pauses the execution of the function until the
promise resolves, and it returns the resolved value.
- The function execution continues only after the promise
has settled, making the code look synchronous.
Handling Errors with async/await
- try...catch blocks are used with async and await to
handle errors that might occur during asynchronous
operations.
# Example:
javascript
async function fetchWithErrorHandling() {
try {
} catch (error) {
}
}
fetchWithErrorHandling();
let getData = async ()=>{
try{
let data = await fetch("https://api.github.com/users")
// console.log(data)
let jsonData = await data.json()
console.log(jsonData) // it will give the original data.
}
catch(err)
{
console.log(err)
}
getData()
