Async function not awaiting Promise, getting [object Promise] instead of data

Code Snippet:

const result = fetchUser(id); console.log(result.name);
Diagnosis
By Dr. API-Specialist (API Expert)

The `fetchUser(id)` function is asynchronous and returns a Promise. The code is attempting to access properties of the Promise object (`result.name`) directly, rather than waiting for the Promise to resolve to its actual data. This results in `result` being the Promise object itself, and `result.name` would likely be undefined or an error, as Promise objects do not have a `name` property in the way the developer expects.

Treatment Plan

To correctly handle the asynchronous operation, the Promise returned by `fetchUser(id)` must be awaited. This can be done using the `await` keyword within an `async` function, or by using the `.then()` method of the Promise. Awaiting the Promise will pause execution until the Promise resolves, providing the actual data that can then be safely accessed.
