I have follow code that should fetch data asynchrony:

  methods : {
    btn() {
      console.log("Hello");
      var url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users";
      let mydata = await fetch(url);
      console.log(mydata);
    }
  }

And I am getting error: Module build failed: SyntaxError: D:/app3/src/App.vue: await is a reserved word (19:19)

...because it's not an `async` function – lonesomeday Feb 20 '17 at 16:56

Reference the [`await`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/await) operator. – David Thomas Feb 20 '17 at 16:57

You can only use await inside a function marked as `async`. And functions marked as `async` always returns a promise – slebetman Feb 20 '17 at 17:29
`fetch` is not async? Is it's possible to fix? – Dmitry Bubnenkov Feb 20 '17 at 17:58

`btn` needs to be `async`, it is not related to `fetch`. You can only use `await` inside an `async` function. e.g. `async btn() {` – loganfsmyth Feb 21 '17 at 01:24
