write me a javascript function which awaits a ajax request. use promises.

Sure, I'd be happy to provide an example of a JavaScript function that awaits an Ajax request using Promises. However, please note that this is just a simple example and you may need to modify it based on your specific use case.

```javascript
function fetchData(url) {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

    xhr.onload = () => {
      if (xhr.status === 200) {
        resolve(xhr.responseText);
      } else {
        reject(new Error(`Request failed with status ${xhr.status}`));
      }
    };

    xhr.onerror = () => {
      reject(new Error('Network response was not ok.'));
    };

    xhr.open('GET', url);
    xhr.send();
  });
}

async function loadData() {
  try {
    const url = 'https://example.com/api/data';
    const data = await fetchData(url);
    console.log('Data fetched successfully:', data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('There was an error:', error);
  }
}

loadData();
```

In this example, `fetchData` is a function that returns a Promise. It sends a GET request to the specified URL and resolves the Promise with the response text if the request is successful, or rejects it with an error object if the request fails.

The `loadData` function is an asynchronous function that calls `fetchData` and handles both success and error scenarios.

Sure, here's a simple example of a JavaScript function that uses Promises to handle an AJAX request. In this case, I'm using the Fetch API, which is a modern way to make HTTP requests in JavaScript.

```javascript
async function fetchData(url) {
    try {
        const response = await fetch(url);

        if (!response.ok) {
            throw new Error(`HTTP error! Status: ${response.status}`);
        }

        const data = await response.json();
        return data;
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('An error occurred while fetching the data:', error);
        throw error;
    }
}
```

In this function:

1. We declare the function as `async` to enable the use of `await` inside it.
2. We use `fetch(url)` to initiate the AJAX request. This returns a Promise that resolves to the Response object representing the response to the request.
3. We use `response.json()` to extract the JSON body content from the response. This also returns a Promise, which we `await`.
4. If the HTTP status of the response is not ok (i.e., not in the 200-299 range), we throw an error.
5. We wrap the whole thing in a `try...catch` block to handle any errors that might occur during the request.
