What does the await keyword do and where can it be used?

The await keyword pauses an async function until a Promise resolves, then yields its resolved value.

Can only be used inside async functions. Makes asynchronous code read like synchronous code by avoiding .then() chains.

async function fetchUser() {
  const response = await fetch('/api/user');
  const data = await response.text();
  return data;
}
