What are the common pitfalls of using async/await in JavaScript?

What are the common pitfalls of using async/await in JavaScript?

Some common pitfalls include forgetting to handle errors, not awaiting promises, and creating unintentional blocking.

Can you explain how forgetting to handle errors can be a pitfall?

Sure! If you don't use try/catch with async/await, unhandled promise rejections can crash your application.

What happens if I don't await a promise?

If you don't await a promise, the function will return before the promise resolves, leading to unexpected behavior.

Are there any performance issues I should be aware of?

Yes, excessive use of async/await can lead to performance issues if not managed properly, especially in loops.
