The document explains the use of async/await in JavaScript for handling asynchronous operations, highlighting that await pauses execution until a Promise is resolved while allowing parallel execution with Promise.all(). It emphasizes the benefits of improved readability, easier error handling, and cleaner code. Key points include the behavior of await with non-Promise values and the nature of return values from async functions.

• await pauses the function execution until a Promise is resolved, which can lead to

sequential execution.
• However, multiple asynchronous operations can be executed in parallel by calling
multiple Promises and using Promise .all ().

Key Points:

• Promise. all ( ) : This


method ensures that all promises execute concurrently and only
resolves when all promises have resolved.

Example:

async function fetchData() { const userData = await


fetch( 'https ://[Link]/users');
const postData = await
fetch( 'https ://jsonplacehol [Link]/posts' );

const [users, posts] = await [Link] ([userData .json(),


[Link]() ]);
[Link](users, posts);

fetchData ();

6. Important Considerations

• Blocking:Although await waits for promises, it only blocks the execution of the code
inside the async function. Other asynchronous tasks continue in parallel.
• await and Non-Promise Values: Ifa non-Promise value is passed to await,it is treated as
a resolved Promise immediately.
• Return Value of async Functions: The return value of an async function is always a
Promise, even if it doesn't explicitly return one.

• Benefits of Using asynclawait

• Improved Readability:Asynchronous code using async/await looks more like


synchronous code, making it easier to read and understand.
• Error Handling:Easier to handle enors in asynchronous code through try ...catch
blocks, similar to synchronous code.
• Cleaner Code:Eliminates the need for complex chaining of then ()and catch ()that is
common with Promises.

Summary

• async: Marks a function as asynchronous, making it return a Promise.


• await: Pausesthe execution of an async function until the Promise resolves or rejects.
• Error Handling:async/await simplifies enor handling using try ...catch.
• Parallel Execution : Promise .all() can be used to execute multiple asynchronou s
tasks in parallel.
