How do I use the Fetch API with async/await in JavaScript?

You can use the Fetch API with async/await by defining an async function and using the await keyword to handle the promise.

Can you show me a code example?

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);
    }
}
fetchData();

What if the fetch fails?

In the example, the fetch is wrapped in a try/catch block, which will catch any errors that occur during the fetch.

Is there a way to handle loading states?

Yes! You can set a loading state before the fetch call and update it once the data is received or an error occurs.
