Typescript async await not working

I have the following async function in Typescript, and it seems that await doesn't block and yield the required result as I expect. 

async function getCroppedImgContent(origImgBuffer: Buffer) {
  console.log("Inside setCroppedImgContent");
  let croppedBuffer =  await sharp(origImgBuffer)
    .resize(4000, 4000)
    .max()
    .toBuffer();
  console.log("After crop");

  return croppedBuffer;
}

"After crop" is not print immediately after "Inside setCroppedImgContent", but a lot later. Looks like await is not working.

Nenad, the fact that you used await inside your function does not mean it will be executed synchronously. await just makes the execution be blocked for a single call.

If you want console.log("After setCroppedImgContent"); to be executed after getCroppedImgContent is completed you need to await its call:

await getCroppedImgContent(origContent)
    .then(function (croppedBuffer) {
    image.content = croppedBuffer;
    console.log("Set image content");
});
