Does JS short-curcuit evaluation work with async/await?

Question

It's well known that in this snippet, if getFirst() returns truthy value, getSecond() is not evaluated:

const result = getFirst() || getSecond();

However, I'm curious if the same holds for async functions:

const result = (await getFirstAsync()) || (await getSyncAsync());

Does it launch the second promise, or waits for the first to get resolved first?

Answer 1

This is trivial to test.

function getFirstAsync() {
    return new Promise(res => {
        console.log("getFirstAsync");
        res(true);
    });
}

function getSyncAsync() {
    return new Promise(res => {
        console.log("getSyncAsync");
        res(false);
    });
}

(async function () {

    const result = (await getFirstAsync()) || (await getSyncAsync());
    console.log({result});

})();

The second function is not called.
