Examples
// Using Promises
function fetchUser(id) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(() => {
if (id > 0) resolve({ id, name: 'Alice' });
else reject(new Error('Invalid ID'));
}, 1000);
});
}
// Using async/await
async function getUser() {
try {
const user = await fetchUser(1);
console.log(user); // { id: 1, name: 'Alice' }
} catch (error) {
console.error(error.message);
}
