Introduction to Async/Await
Async/await is a modern way to handle asynchronous operations in JavaScript. It makes asynchronous code look and behave more like synchronous code, making it easier to read and maintain.
How It Works
The async keyword is used to declare an asynchronous function. Inside an async function, you can use the await keyword to wait for a promise to resolve.
Error Handling
You can handle errors in async/await using try/catch blocks, which provides a cleaner syntax compared to promise chains.
Best Practices
- Always use try/catch with async/await
- Don't forget the await keyword
- Use Promise.all() for parallel operations
