Using await within a Promise

You do this:

async function outerFunction() {
  const value = await somethingAsynchronous();
  if (value === something) {
    return 'It Worked!';
  }
  throw Error('Nope. Try again.');
}

Using async wraps the result of outerFunction with a Promise.

If you want that wrapping promise to resolve to something, just return it from the async function. If you want the wrapping promise to be rejected, throw an error inside the async function.

But then how do you account for code such as this?

async function outerFunction() {
  if (someSynchronousCheck()) {
    throw Error('Nope. Try again.');
  }

  const value = await somethingAsynchronous();
  // ...
}
