Write asynchronous code in a breeze with async and await

Writing asynchronous code is very common these days. Callback structured code can be difficult to read, write and maintain. Promises were a step forward. async and await makes writing.

Writing asynchronous code is very common these days. Callback structured code can be difficult to read, write and maintain. Promises were a step forward. async and await makes writing (and reading) asynchronous code a breeze!

In this post we are going to explore some sample asynchronous code using async and await in TypeScript.

Asynchronous Functions

Asynchronous code that calls a web service is pretty common these days. So, let’s create an asynchronous function that calls a web service to get some data using async and await.

There are 3 main points of note in our function:

• Our function contains a call to the fetch function. The await keyword allows fetch to be called in an asynchronous manner with the execution of the next line blocked until fetch returns
• Our function is prefixed with the async keyword because we are referencing the await keyword and executing asynchronous code within our function. The async keyword allows our function to be called in an asynchronous manner with await
• Our async function needs to return a Promise

We are pleased to announce that the July release of the Python extension is now available for Visual Studio Code. You can download the Python extension from the Marketplace, or install it directly from the extension gallery in Visual Studio Code. If you already have the Python extension installed, you can also get the latest update by restarting Visual Studio Code. You can read more about Python support in Visual Studio Code in the documentation .

If you’re looking for a fast and lightweight open-source code editor, Visual Studio Code has you covered. Come for a deep dive into the features of Visual Studio Code which provide a rich, productive environment for C++ development.

We speak to the creator of Visual Studio Code about the early challenges to now becoming the most popular development environment in the world.
