Actually, due to learning purposes I want to send a HTTP request but in a Sync way in javascript.
How can I do it?
Note: I want the main thread blocked during the request.

Does this answer your question? [How to make javascript fetch synchronous?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44735669/how-to-make-javascript-fetch-synchronous) – Plagiatus Mar 10 '23 at 09:54

@sojin async/await doesn't block the main thread! – Mohamad Shiralizadeh Mar 10 '23 at 09:56

As it shouldn't. – deceze Mar 10 '23 at 09:56

@Plagiatus None of them blocks the main thread! – Mohamad Shiralizadeh Mar 10 '23 at 09:57

You can't do this reliably, nor should you want to. – Unmitigated Mar 10 '23 at 09:58

4the linked answer answers this question, too. TLDR: **You can't make fetch synchronous.** You can use XMLHttpRequest instead to make a synchronous request. – Plagiatus Mar 10 '23 at 09:59

@Plagiatus Yeah, you're right. I could do it with `XHR` but it's not possible for `fetch`. – Mohamad Shiralizadeh Mar 10 '23 at 10:07

1There is a library which mimics a sync fetch: `sync-fetch`; `const fetch = require('sync-fetch'); console.log('before fetch'); console.log(fetch('https://google.com').text()); console.log('hello, finished');` – Ardeshir Izadi Aug 04 '23 at 12:52
