English is not my strong suit, so please bear with me if my writing seems odd.
We have discovered two methods for transitioning from asynchronous ajax calls to synchronous ones.
- Using async: false
- Utilizing await
Both achieve the same outcome, but I am curious about the distinctions between these two approaches.
function callAjax(url) {
$.ajax({
url: url,
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
data: JSON.stringify(data),
caches: false,
async: false,
success: function(response) {
console.log(response);
},
failed: function(e) {
ajaxFail(e);
}
});
}
async function ca(url) {
await $.ajax({
url: url,
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
caches: false,
success: function(response) {
console.log(response);
},
failed: function(e) {
ajaxFail(e);
}
});
}
I am unsure how to effectively distinguish between the core aspects. I hope my English is clear enough. Apologies for any mistakes.
