Is Fetch Async

forEach is synchronous, while fetch is asynchronous. While each element of the results array will be visited in order, forEach will return without the completion of fetch, thus leaving you empty-handed.

Is fetch () async?

fetchMovies() is an asynchronous function since it’s marked with the async keyword. await fetch(‘/movies’) starts an HTTP request to ‘/movies’ URL. Because the await keyword is present, the asynchronous function is paused until the request completes.

Should I use async with Fetch?
