How to call an async function?

by

according to async_function MDN

Return value

A Promise which will be resolved with the value returned by the async function, or rejected with an uncaught exception thrown from within the async function.

async function will always return a promise and you have to use .then() or await to access its value

async function getHtml() {
  const request = await $.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1')  
  return request
}

getHtml()
  .then((data) => { console.log('1')})
  .then(() => { console.log('2')});
  
// OR 

(async() => {
  console.log('1')
  await getHtml()  
  console.log('2')
})()
