What are some tips for using async/await in JavaScript?

Here are some tips: 1. Always use try/catch for error handling. 2. Avoid blocking the event loop. 3. Use async/await for cleaner code.

Can you explain why I should avoid blocking the event loop?

Blocking the event loop can make your application unresponsive. Async/await allows other operations to run while waiting.

What is the difference between async/await and Promises?

Async/await is syntactic sugar over Promises, making asynchronous code look synchronous and easier to read.

Can you give an example of using async/await?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

async function fetchData() {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data');
    const data = await response.json();
    console.log(data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
  }
}
