Can we call non-async function from async function?

Question

I have a problem with calling a non-async function from the function method. Is there any way to do this?

Example:

async function myMethod()
{
  console.log('In async method');
  nonasyncmethod(); 
}

function nonasyncmethod()
{
  console.log('In non-async method');
}

If you are talking about *object methods* then you likely need to call the method as `this.nonasyncmethod()`. But that's how methods work in general and has nothing to do with async. If that doesn't solve your problem please provide a [mcve]. — Felix Kling, Mar 28 '19 at 07:41

@SyedMohamedAladeen no my question is opposite of that question — ANKIT SHARMA, Mar 28 '19 at 07:50
Yes you can call a non-async method from async method. And your javascript function declarations are wrong. Their name should be preceded by the "function" keyword. — RK_15, Mar 28 '19 at 07:50
Given your edit, the code will work as it is. Again, if you have problem, then you should provide a [mcve]. — Felix Kling, Mar 28 '19 at 08:18

Yes, you can call both asynchronous and synchronous functions from within an async function - they do not have to be all asynchronous (of course the primary reason for having an async function is for asynchronous functions, but they work with synchronous functions as well):

async function myMethod() {
  console.log('In async method');
  nonasyncmethod();
}

function nonasyncmethod() {
  console.log('In non-async method');
}

myMethod();
