Handling Asynchronous Operations in TypeScript with Async/Await
Handling Asynchronous Operations in TypeScript with Async/Await
Asynchronous programming is a critical aspect of modern software development, enabling applications to remain responsive and efficient while performing long-running operations, such as network requests, file I/O, or complex computations. TypeScript, a superset of JavaScript, incorporates several features to handle asynchronous operations effectively. Among these, the async/await syntax is particularly powerful for writing clean, readable, and straightforward asynchronous code. This article explores how to use async/await in TypeScript, including a practical example.
Understanding Async/Await
Introduced in ECMAScript 2017, async/await is syntactic sugar built on top of Promises, designed to simplify asynchronous programming by allowing developers to write asynchronous code that looks and behaves like synchronous code.
Async Functions
An async function is a function declared with the async keyword. It can contain one or more await expressions. Async functions always return a Promise. If the function returns a value, the Promise will be resolved with that value. If the function throws an error, the Promise…
