Lesson 3

Async & Promises

Handle asynchronous code

1What is Asynchronous Programming?✨

Asynchronous programming allows your code to run without blocking other operations. This is especially useful when dealing with tasks that take time, like loading data from a server. It helps keep your applications responsive!

2Why Learn Async & Promises?🎯

  • ✓ Makes your applications faster and more efficient
  • ✓ Handles multiple tasks simultaneously
  • ✓ Essential for modern web development
  • ✓ Allows for smoother user experiences

3Understanding Callbacks💡

A callback is a function that runs after another function completes. It can help with asynchronous tasks, but it can lead to complex code if not managed well.

💻 code
function fetchData(callback) {
  setTimeout(() => {
    callback("Data received!");
  }, 2000);
}
💻 code
fetchData((data) => {
  console.log(data);
});

4Introduction to Promises🚀

A Promise is an object that represents the eventual completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation. It allows for cleaner code and better error handling.

💻 code
const myPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  const success = true; // simulate success
  if (success) {
    resolve("Operation successful!");
  } else {
    reject("Operation failed.");
  }
});

5myPromise🔍

💻 code
  .then((message) => console.log(message))
  .catch((error) => console.log(error));

6Using Async/Await⭐

Async/await is a modern way to handle asynchronous code. It makes your code look synchronous, which is easier to read and maintain.

💻 code
async function fetchData() {
  const data = await myPromise;
  console.log(data);
}
💻 code
fetchData();

7What You'll Build This Grade🧩
