async await best practices

Question

I\'ve grasped the concept of async await and have been using it sporadically, but do have a couple questions regarding best practices.

1. is it ok to use await in

Answer 1

It is not ok to use a loop to keep fething data that may be present.. You can create an async call that upon completion will automaticlly invoke a callback method.. the "waiting" phase in that case will happen in the OS mechanisms which treat this waiting phase in optimum way to the OS being used.
