How do I return the response from an asynchronous call?

⬅️ JavaScript 🔗 Stack Overflow

The ECMAScript version released in 2017 introduced syntax-level support for asynchronous functions. With the help of async and await, you can write asynchronous in a “synchronous style”. The code is still asynchronous, but it’s easier to read/understand.

async/await builds on top of promises: an async function always returns a promise. await “unwraps” a promise and either result in the value the promise was resolved with or throws an error if the promise was rejected.

  async function saveUsers(){
     try{
        let users = await getUsers()
        saveSomewhere(users);
     }
     catch(err){
        console.error(err);
     }
  }
