# Prefer top-level await over top-level promises and async function calls

💼 This rule is enabled in the following [configs](https://github.com/sindresorhus/eslint-plugin-unicorn#recommended-config): ✅ `recommended`, ☑️ `unopinionated`.

💡 This rule is manually fixable by [editor suggestions](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/core-concepts#rule-suggestions).

<!-- end auto-generated rule header -->
<!-- Do not manually modify this header. Run: `npm run fix:eslint-docs` -->

[Top-level await](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/await#top_level_await) is more readable and can prevent unhandled rejections.

## Examples

```js
// ❌
(async () => {
	try {
		await run();
	} catch (error) {
		console.error(error);
		process.exit(1);
	}
})();

// ❌
async function main() {
	try {
		await run();
	} catch (error) {
		console.error(error);
		process.exit(1);
	}
}

main();

// ✅
try {
	await run();
} catch (error) {
	console.error(error);
	process.exit(1);
}
```

```js
// ❌
run().catch(error => {
	console.error(error);
	process.exit(1);
});

// ✅
await run();
```
