Taming Async/Await Errors with IIFEs

When you start using async/await inside modules or scripts that aren't already wrapped in an async function (like the main function in a Node script), you might hit frustrating syntax errors. A neat trick is wrapping your top-level asynchronous logic in an Immediately Invoked Function Expression (IIFE). Just define (async () => { /* your code here */ })();. This gives you a safe, contained scope where you can use await freely and handle potential runtime errors cleanly using standard try...catch blocks right at the entry point of your script.
