await is only valid in async function - eval in async

Question

I want to eval() some lines of code inside of async function. While the following code is ok,

async function foo()
{
  await foo1();
  await foo2();
}
         


        

Answer 1

foo() should not necessarily be async, as that has no effect on the execution context of eval. Instead, a possible solution is to wrap your ctxScript in a self-executing async function, like so: eval("(async () => {" + ctxScript + "})()")
