@iasd/handle-async v2.0.0
@iasd/handle-async
A simple, yet powerful, utility function to handle async operations, providing a clean and consistent API.
🚀 Getting started
To use the utility functions with npm and/or a bundler such as webpack or rollup, install it via yarn or npm:
yarn add @iasd/handle-async
# or use npm
npm install @iasd/handle-asyncYou can also use it directly in the browser and include it via CDN (or locally, if you like).
<head>
...
<!-- as a local file -->
<script src="./your/path/to/handleAsync.browser.min.js"></script>
<!-- or via CDN -->
<script src="http://unpkg.com/@iasd/handle-async"></script>
...
</head>🔧 Usage
Imports and Global
The library provides exports for modern import syntax as well as exports for the require syntax.
// node require syntax
const { handleAsync } = require('@iasd/handle-async');
// modern es6 style syntax
import { handleAsync } from '@iasd/handle-async';In case you included the library file locally or via CDN, the handleAsync object is globally available.
const { handleAsync } = handleAsync;Handling Async Calls
Use the handleAsync function to handle asynchronous operations in a safe manner.
import { handleAsync } from '@iasd/handle-async';
// Create a async runner that returns a boolean
const asyncRunner = () => new Promise((res) => window.setTimeout(() => res(true), 5000));
// Retrieve the result from the runner
const result = await handleAsync(asyncRunner, {
Ok: (value) => value, // Use the `Ok` handler to return or transform the value
Err: (err) => false, // Use the `Err` handler to handle any error or rethrow if necessary
});
// Result will be either `true`, if the runner encountered no issue,
// or `false` if it was handled by the error handler.
console.log(result);Tip: The value returned by the
Errhandler must be of the same type as the value returned by theOkhandler, to enforce correct handling.
