# How can we use async await in Node.js?

You can use the `async` and `await` keywords to write asynchronous code that looks and behaves like synchronous code.

```javascript
async function getData() {
  try {
    const result = await someAsyncOperation();
    console.log(result);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}
```

To use `await`, the function that contains it must be marked with the `async` keyword. The `await` keyword can then be used to wait for a Promise to be resolved. In the example above, `someAsyncOperation()` is an async function that returns a Promise. The `await` keyword waits for the Promise to be resolved, and then assigns the resolved value to the `result` variable.

If the Promise is rejected, the `catch` block will be executed.

You can use `async`/`await` with any async function, whether it's a third-party library or something you wrote yourself. It can make your asynchronous code much easier to read and understand.
