If you need to use a Promise object in your module, for example, to fetch some async data from a remote API using an HTTP client, then Nuxt can perfectly support that. The following are some of the options you can write your async modules with.

You can use ES6 async/await in your module with Axios, the HTTP client that we have been using since Chapter 4, Adding Views, Routes, and Transitions, such as in the following example:
// modules/async-await/module.js
