Learn Asynchronous JavaScript - Async-Await Cheatsheet - Codecademy

1. Async-await allows multiple asynchronous operations to run concurrently and retrieve resolved values using Promise.all(), avoiding unnecessary blocking. 2. An asynchronous JavaScript function always returns a promise, and can be defined using the async keyword or in an async arrow function. 3. The async-await syntax offers a readable way to handle promises by allowing code to be written similarly to synchronous code. Await pauses execution until a promise resolves, then returns its value.

Async-Await
Resolving JavaScript Promises
When using JavaScript async...await , multiple
asynchronous operations can run concurrently. If the let promise1 = Promise.resolve(5);
resolved value is required for each promise initiated, let promise2 = 44;
Promise.all() can be used to retrieve the resolved let promise3 = new
value, avoiding unnecessary blocking. Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
setTimeout(resolve, 100, 'foo');
});

Promise.all([promise1, promise2,
promise3]).then(function(values) {
console.log(values);
});
// expected output: Array [5, 44, "foo"]
Asynchronous JavaScript function
An asynchronous JavaScript function can be created with
the async keyword before the function name, or function helloWorld() {
before () when using the async arrow function. An return new Promise(resolve => {
async function always returns a promise. setTimeout(() => {
resolve('Hello World!');
}, 2000);
});
}

const msg = async function() { //Async


Function Expression
const msg = await helloWorld();
console.log('Message:', msg);
}

const msg1 = async () => { //Async Arrow


Function
const msg = await helloWorld();
console.log('Message:', msg);
}

msg(); // Message: Hello World! <-- after

msg1(); // Message: Hello World! <-- after

Async Await Promises


The async...await syntax in ES6 o ers a new way write
more readable and scalable code to handle promises. It function helloWorld() {
uses the same features that were already built into return new Promise(resolve => {
JavaScript. setTimeout(() => {
resolve('Hello World!');
}, 2000);
});
}

async function msg() {


const msg = await helloWorld();
console.log('Message:', msg);
}

msg(); // Message: Hello World! <-- after

Using async await syntax
Constructing one or more promises or calls without
await can allow multiple async functions to execute
simultaneously. Through this approach, a program can
take advantage of concurrency, and asynchronous
actions can be initiated within an async function. Since
using the await keyword halts the execution of an
async function, each async function can be awaited
once its value is required by program logic.

JavaScript async…await advantage


The JavaScript async...await syntax allows multiple
promises to be initiated and then resolved for values
when required during execution of the program. As an
alternate to chaining .then() functions, it o ers better
maintainablity of the code and a close resemblance
synchronous code.

Async Function Error Handling


JavaScript async functions uses try...catch
statements for error handling. This method allows shared let json = '{ "age": 30 }'; // incomplete
error handling for synchronous and asynchronous code. data

try {
let user = JSON.parse(json); // <-- no
errors
alert( user.name ); // no name!
} catch (e) {
alert( "Invalid JSON data!" );
}
JavaScript aysnc await operator
The JavaScript async...await syntax in ES6 o ers a new
way write more readable and scablable code to handle function helloWorld() {
promises. A JavaScript async function can contain return new Promise(resolve => {
statements preceded by an await operator. The setTimeout(() => {
operand of await is a promise. At an await expression, resolve('Hello World!');
the execution of the async function is paused and waits
}, 2000);
for the operand promise to resolve. The await operator
});
returns the promise’s resolved value. An await operand
}
can only be used inside an async function.

async function msg() {


const msg = await helloWorld();
console.log('Message:', msg);
}

msg(); // Message: Hello World! <-- after
