Async Await - KeynesYouDigIt/Knowledge GitHub Wiki

• Putting async in front of a function declaration make it an AsyncFunction object and is treated like a promise
• await can only be used inside of AsyncFunctions
  • Ergo, can't be used at the top level
• await pauses the execution of the function until the promise that you pass it resolves, kind of like a generator

async function somethingThatUsesAwait(){
    const result = await networkRequest();

    return result;
}

somethingThatUsesAwait().then(result => {
    // Using promises now
});
