{{JSRef}}
The **`AsyncFunction`** object provides methods for [async functions](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/async_function). In JavaScript, every async function is actually an `AsyncFunction` object.
Note that `AsyncFunction` is _not_ a global object. It can be obtained with the following code:
```js
const AsyncFunction = async function () {}.constructor;
```
`AsyncFunction` is a subclass of {{jsxref("Function")}}.
## Constructor
- {{jsxref("AsyncFunction/AsyncFunction", "AsyncFunction()")}}
- : Creates a new `AsyncFunction` object.
## Instance properties
_Also inherits instance properties from its parent {{jsxref("Function")}}_.
These properties are defined on `AsyncFunction.prototype` and shared by all `AsyncFunction` instances.
- {{jsxref("Object/constructor", "AsyncFunction.prototype.constructor")}}
- : The constructor function that created the instance object. For `AsyncFunction` instances, the initial value is the {{jsxref("AsyncFunction/AsyncFunction", "AsyncFunction")}} constructor.
- `AsyncFunction.prototype[Symbol.toStringTag]`
- : The initial value of the [`[Symbol.toStringTag]`](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Symbol/toStringTag) property is the string `"AsyncFunction"`. This property is used in {{jsxref("Object.prototype.toString()")}}.
> **Note:** `AsyncFunction` instances do not have the [`prototype`](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function/prototype) property.
## Instance methods
_Inherits instance methods from its parent {{jsxref("Function")}}_.
