await is a promise that you are returning a value, and the rest of your code will not run until it has completed.

It can only be used within asynchronous functions.

async function asyncCall() {
  console.log('calling');
  const result = await resolveAfter2Seconds();
  console.log(result);
  // expected output: "resolved"
}
