Promises

01 / Foundation

Understand the concept

async and await are built on top of Promises, making asynchronous code easier to read and maintain.

They simplify error handling and improve code readability without changing how asynchronous operations work under the hood.

02 / Implementation

Using async / await

async-await.js
async function fetchUsers() {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(
      "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users"
    );

    const users = await response.json();

    console.log(users);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

fetchUsers();
