title: JavaScript Async Functions
---
# Introduction
Async Functions[^1] is a new feature implemented in
[ES2017](20201026104538-es2017) to handle
[promises](20200911154351-promises).
# Syntax
## Fulfilling a promise
``` javascript
async function asyncFunc() {
return 123;
}
asyncFunc().then((x) => console.log(x));
// 123
```
## Rejecting a promise
``` javascript
async function asyncFunc() {
throw new Error("Problem!");
}
asyncFunc().catch((err) => console.log(err));
// Error: Problem!
```
