How are errors handled in async JavaScript?

Quick Answer In async JS, errors surface as Promise rejections. Unhandled: .catch() at the end of a chain handles any rejection above it. async/await: use try/catch. Promise.all rejects if any sub-promise rejects รขโ‚ฌโ€ use Promise.allSettled to get all results regardless. Always handle rejections รขโ‚ฌโ€ unhandled ones throw warnings (or errors in Node.js 15+).

Answer
