await
await 操作符用于等待一个Promise 对象。它只能在异步函数 async function 中使用。

MDN Web Docsawait

function resolveAfter2Seconds(x) {
  return new Promise(resolve => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      resolve(x);
    }, 2000);
  });
}

async function f1() {
  var x = await resolveAfter2Seconds(10);
  console.log(100)
  console.log(x); // 10
}
f1();  //100  10

async函数
async函数是使用async关键字声明的函数。 async函数是AsyncFunction构造函数的实例， 并且其中允许使用await关键字。async和await关键字让我们可以用一种更简洁的方式写出基于Promise的异步行为，而无需刻意地链式调用promise。

MDN Web Docsasync

function resolveAfter2Seconds() {
  return new Promise(resolve => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      resolve('resolved');
    }, 2000);
  });
}

async function asyncCall() {
  console.log('calling');
  const result = await resolveAfter2Seconds();
  console.log(result);
  // expected output: "resolved"
}

asyncCall();
//calling   resolved

function takeLongTime(n) {
    return new Promise(resolve => {
        setTimeout(() => resolve(n + 200), n);
    });
}

function step1(n) {
    console.log(`step1 with ${n}`);
    return takeLongTime(n);
}

function step2(n) {
    console.log(`step2 with ${n}`);
    return takeLongTime(n);
}

function step3(n) {
    console.log(`step3 with ${n}`);
    return takeLongTime(n);
}

// Promise方式
function doIt() {
    console.time("doIt");
    const time1 = 300;
    step1(time1)
        .then(time2 => step2(time2))
        .then(time3 => step3(time3))
        .then(result => {
            console.log(`result is ${result}`);
            console.timeEnd("doIt");
        });
}

doIt();

// async await方式
async function doIt() {
    console.time("doIt");
    const time1 = 300;
    const time2 = await step1(time1);
    const time3 = await step2(time2);
    const result = await step3(time3);
    console.log(`result is ${result}`);
    console.timeEnd("doIt");
}
doIt();

//结果：
//step1 with 300 11
//step2 with 500 22
//step3 with 700 33
//result is 900
//doIt: 1511.51416015625 ms
