Await an Async Function and Do Something with it in One Line of Javascript

Have you ever wanted a one-liner that let’s you await the result of a function and do some further processing?

Instead of:

const resp = await fetch('https://api.github.com/users/johnomarkid')
const body = await json()

You want a way to skip declaring a resp constant and get directly to the body.

Here’s some syntactical sugar in Javascript that let’s you do just that.

const body = (await fetch('https://api.github.com/users/johnomarkid')).json()
