Using Async/Await for Cleaner Asynchronous Code
The async/await syntax is a modern and more readable way to work with promises in JavaScript. It allows developers to write asynchronous code that looks and behaves like synchronous code. Instead of chaining then() calls, you can use await to pause the execution of an async function until a promise is resolved.
How async Functions Work
An async function is a function declared with the async keyword. It returns a Promise by default, and you can use the await keyword within it to pause execution until the promise is resolved.
index.html
index.js
The fetchData function is declared as async, allowing it to use await to pause execution until a promise resolves. Here, a simulated delay of 2 seconds mimics a data-fetching operation. Once resolved, the result ("Data fetched successfully!") is displayed in the HTML paragraph.
Simplifying Promise Chains with Async/Await
When working with multiple asynchronous operations in sequence, using async/await can simplify code that would otherwise involve promise chaining with then().
Let's see how a series of promises (like fetching and processing data) can be handled more cleanly with async/await.
index.html
index.js
The processData function calls three asynchronous functions—fetchData, processFetchedData, and displayProcessedData—one after the other, each waiting (await) for the previous operation to complete before moving to the next. This structured flow eliminates the need for chaining promises, improving readability. The final output ("Raw Data processed and displayed on the page") is then shown in the HTML.
Error Handling with try...catch in Async/Await
Handling errors in promise chains with .catch() can become cumbersome, especially when dealing with multiple asynchronous operations. With async/await, you can handle errors using the traditional try...catch block, making error handling more intuitive and readable.
index.html
index.js
In fetchDataWithError, the try block runs the await operation, and if it succeeds, the result is displayed in the HTML. If an error occurs (as simulated by simulateError), the catch block handles it by setting the paragraph text to the error message ("Error: Something went wrong!").

3. Which of the following is a benefit of using async/await over .then() chaining?
