What are common mistakes when using async functions?

What are some common mistakes people make when using async functions?

Some common mistakes include forgetting to await promises, using async functions without error handling, and blocking the event loop.

Can you explain why blocking the event loop is a problem?

Blocking the event loop prevents other operations from executing, which can lead to performance issues and unresponsive applications.

How can I avoid these mistakes in my code?

To avoid these mistakes, always use 'await' with promises, implement proper error handling, and avoid synchronous code in async functions.

Are there any tools to help identify these mistakes?

Yes, tools like ESLint with specific plugins for async/await can help catch common mistakes in your code.
