Section 1
The big idea
Async/await is how modern JS handles things that take time — fetching data, reading files. AI is excellent at converting old promise chains and explaining what 'await' actually waits for.
Some examples
- Paste a tangled .then().then().then() chain and ask AI to convert it to async/await.
- Have AI explain why your fetch returns a Promise instead of data.
- Get AI to add try/catch around your async calls and explain why.
- Ask AI to write Promise.all() for fetching 3 APIs in parallel.
Try it!
Find any fetch() call in your code. Ask AI to wrap it in async/await with proper error handling. Compare versions.
