Hello folks, welcome to my blog. Today we will discuss Call Apex methods synchronously in LWC. We can call the Apex method in LWC in two ways, i.e. Imperative and wire. It will always be easy for us when we have only call single method a time. But what about when we call a series of apex methods at a single call? these methods will run asynchronously if you call them as it is. But we can call these methods one after one by the use of async & await.

Key Highlights :

  1. Can call the Apex method in chaining.
  2. Can get a response from the first call of Apex then call the second method.
  3. We handle this by the use of Promise chaining.
  4. We use async and await in our methods so it waits for the first apex call response and then calls the second method.

Code :

AccountDataController.cls :

public class AccountDataController {

    @AuraEnabled (cacheable=true)
    public static List<Contact> fetchContacts(){
        return [SELECT Id, Name, AccountId, Email, LeadSource, MobilePhone, Phone FROM Contact LIMIT 15];       
    }
    
    @AuraEnabled(Cacheable = true)
    public static List<Account> getAccounts(){
      return [SELECT Id, Name, Industry, Type, Phone, Rating, AccountNumber FROM Account ORDER BY Name LIMIT 10];
    }
}
