    </div>

    <button v-if="submission.isStandby">Submit</button>
    <button v-else-if="submission.isPending" disabled>Submitting...</button>
    <button v-if="submission.isRejected">Retry Submit</button>

    <div v-if="submission.isFulfilled">Submitted successfully!</div>
    <div v-else-if="submission.isRejected">
      Failed to submit!
      <div>{{ submission.error }}</div>
    </div>
  </form>
</template>

<script lang="ts">
import { reactive } from 'vue'

export default {
  setup() {
    const payload = reactive({
      text: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.',
    })

    const [submit, submission] = useAsync(async () => {
      // TODO: implement your submit function

      // simulate successfull submission
      await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 1000))

      // throw new Error('Server error')
    })
