javascript async/await

//ORIGINAL
//each .then() returns a promisse and can be chained. The .then() will run after the previous one has finished. It emulates an async/await behavior.

fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users')//fetch the content
  .then((response) => response.json())//then use that content and convert it to a javascript object
  .then(users => {
    const firstUser = users[0];
    console.log(firstUser);
    return fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts?userId=' + firstUser.id);
  })//then return the content from posts related to that user ID
  .then((response) => response.json())//then use that content and convert it to a javascript object
  .then(posts => console.log(posts));//then log the result


//ASYNC/AWAIT
const myAsyncFunction = async () => {//define that this will be asynchronous
  const usersResponse = await fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users');//wait for the fecth result and put it in the variable
  const users = await usersResponse.json();//wait for the previous item to be done, transform it into a javascript object and put it in the variable
  const secondUser = users[1];

  console.log(secondUser);//then log the result

  const postsResponse = await fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts?userId=' + secondUser.id);//wait for the previous item to be done, wait for the fecth result and put it in the variable
  const posts = await postsResponse.json();//wait for the previous item to be done, transform it into a javascript object and put it in the variable

  console.log(posts);//then log the result
}

myAsyncFunction();
