Exploring promises, async, await, and fetch() with the Giphy / Wordnik APIs.

This might be the best async/promise explanation on YT.

I like he demoed the whole internals of callbacks and promises before coming to async and await, so that people have a good understanding. Great teacher!

[raviutsav]

One important thing you didn't mentioned in this video is that, async function always returns a promise object.
I like how you make your content engaging. Thank you for the teaching. :)

I saw the img_url mistake the moment you typed it but watched all your debugging just for it's entertainment value haha love it!

Hey !

I watched your part 1 at 6am the other day, and two hours later I used it all over my code to revamp my own API's and basically halved my code .. . And everything is so smooth now.

I'm working with big data, sql calls over 100 million lines and nodeJS is totally fine to deal with those things.

I just keep struggling with promises inside loops, can't find a way to declare "arrays" of promises that will work exactly in the way I want.

Maybe your next video, which I'm really waiting for, will help me towards that.


Keep doing the good work ! You make code look fun and accessible ! :)

(PS : i studied in one of the best IT schools in France and still find your content super relevant. And sometimes a 10/30 mins video is way easier to read/watch than a 10 pages of docs on an API even more at 6 am when you wake up.)

Your videos are amazing, I purchased a webdev course online and they couldn't explain promise and async await concept so well which you did.
Big Fan from the first video I watched on this channel.

Clean syntax rules. The readability of code is so important, and this async/await stuff is solid.

Though I do enjoy your teaching style and this is without a doubt my favorite YouTube channel, that ASMR bit at 4:36 was necessary to this lesson, I don't think any of this would have made sense to me without it.

8:48 Stitch also celebrating it's working hahaha

I'm about to learn how to use async functions in express and wanted to refresh on this topic before jumping into that. So where do I come for help...Possibly the best youtube channel EVER!!! seeing you figure out things on camera help us figure it out as well. It makes us feel okay about being lost/confused about new material.

4:36 That whispering killed me 😂
GREAT Video by the way, please never stop making them! I've never heard about promises and now I am happy like a little unicorn, that I'll never be stuck in callback hell again! Thank you for those great videos!

[showmerockk]

this is the third video i clicked on trying to get this concept, you the best :)

[bryanhadinata]

I've been stuck with understanding promises and async/await this past 4 days.. (yes I know.. don't judge me lol)
I just want to say thank you so much for doing what you do! I finally managed to grab the ideas behind promises
I can finally sleep with peace :)

Thank you for explaining that the async function returns a promise. All the other tutorials just assumed I should've known that but I'm just a beginner idiot doing dangerous things with javascript so obviously I don't lol

Also love the style and art of the channel!

[bhanuchirutha]

i have seen few videos on promises and asynch things this is the best

[DevrajSinghRawat]

watching this video again .. Loved the way you explain the stuff ... Thanks a lot for such a great videos.. Loved the Sound efeect ;-)

[aaryan]

You are an excellent teacher. One of the best I've ever had.

[rekaviles]

This guy is great. Gets you so hyped to code.

[jpeets]

SERIOUSLY good explanation! Thank you.

First time to undedrstand the async and await after many attempts, appreciated (":
