Master Asynchronous JavaScript: Callbacks, Promises, and Async Await
Why Asynchronous JavaScript Matters
JavaScript is a single-threaded language that handles multiple operations without blocking the main execution thread. This non-blocking behavior is essential for creating responsive web applications that perform data fetching, file reading, or heavy computations in the background. Without asynchrony, a browser would freeze every time it waits for a server response or a large file to load.
Asynchronous patterns allow the event loop to continue processing user input while tasks run.
Long-running tasks are moved off the main thread to prevent performance bottlenecks.
Efficient execution is critical for modern web frameworks and high-performance server environments.
Evolution From Callbacks to Promises
Initially, developers used callbacks to handle asynchronous tasks, but this often led to deeply nested code structures known as callback hell. Promises were introduced in ES6 to provide a cleaner and more structured way to manage the results of operations that complete in the future.
Promises transition through three distinct states which include pending, fulfilled, and rejected.
Chaining then and catch methods improves code flow and overall project maintainability.
Error handling is more predictable and centralized compared to old callback patterns.
Simplifying Logic with Async and Await
The async and await keywords introduced in ES8 represent the current standard for writing asynchronous logic. This syntax is built entirely on top of promises but allows developers to write code that looks and behaves like synchronous operations.
Functions marked with async will always return a promise automatically.
The await keyword pauses function execution until a specific promise is settled.
Using try-catch blocks with this syntax offers a clean and familiar way to handle errors.

Some languages implement async functions so that the function only starts executing once you call await on its return value. I eventually realized we can use that to write explicitly lazily evaluated code. I'd even go so far as to say that this may be an acceptable use of async/await if you actually need lazy evaluation, because
lazy evaluation is a kind of asynchronous execution, and
much like concurrency, it is the caller's business.
This is probably not ideal. Lazy evaluation and concurrency are conceptually different, and imply different possibilities that you need to worry about. So an implementation that conflates them risks human error and confusion. But it gave me the idea for another pair of keywords, maybe lazy/eval, to do explicit lazy evaluation.
via Promises in Javascript: A Complete Guide for 2019 — DZone Web Dev Zone Don’t let your program down! Promises are an important concept that is essential for a JavaScript developer to understand. If this concept is clear, the developer can utilize promises in a variety of ways in their day-to-day lives. There are a lot of articles and tutorials available on the web about promises. However,…
