JavaScript thrives on making things happen, but waiting for slow tasks can bring your app to a screeching halt. Enter async/await, a powerful duo that simplifies asynchronous programming with a touch of magic.
Async and Await: A Perfect Match
Async Functions: Imagine a function fetching data. A regular function would block everything until the data arrives. An async
function, however, returns a Promise immediately, allowing your program to keep running.
Await to the Rescue: The await
keyword pauses execution within an async
function until a Promise resolves. It’s like telling your program to wait patiently for a specific task to finish before moving on.
