Async error handling and fetch without try-catch.
Usage
import { it } from 'avait'
import { readFile } from 'fs/promises'
const { error, value } = await it(readFile('./my-file.txt', 'utf-8'))
if (error) return alert('Error')
console.log(`File contents: ${value}`)
It's possible to resolve multiple promises in a row.
const { error, title } = await it(fetch('https://dummyjson.com/products/1')).add((next) =>
next.json(),
)
// title => 'iPhone 9' or similar.
Error Handler
When an error is thrown but the error
property isn't accessed errors will be sent to any registered error handlers.
import { it, registerErrorHandler } from 'avait'
import { readFile } from 'fs/promises'
registerErrorHandler((error) => alert(error))
const { value } = await it(readFile('./my-file.txt', 'utf-8'))
console.log(`File contents: ${value}`)
Multiple Promises
It's possible to pass an array of promises. In this case the result value
as well as the error
will also be returned as an array. Using the second argument parallelism can be enabled which leads to the promises being run in parallel.
import { it } from 'avait'
const { value } = await it([firstPromise, secondPromise])
console.log(value[0])
// With parallelism enabled
const { value } = await it([firstPromise, secondPromise], { parallel: true })
console.log(value[1])
Simple fetch
This is a super small wrapper around fetch
that's supposed to make error handling and accessing the data simple.
import { load } from 'avait'
const { error, status, data, text } = await load('http://localhost:3000/api') // GET method
// error: boolean | string, indicating if the request errored.
// status: The HTTP status code.
// data: parsed JSON data if response is JSON.
// text: string, text content if response contains text.
// ...props: For a JSON response top-level object properties will be spread on the return object.
await load('http://localhost:3000/api', { name: 'John Doe' }) // POST method
await load('http://localhost:3000/api', { id: 1, name: 'John Doe' }) // PUT method
await load('http://localhost:3000/api', 1) // DELETE method
Converting an Async Method to a Synchronous One
[!IMPORTANT] This feature has been removed with Version 2 of this plugin. I haven't found it useful and it currently doensn't work with Bun. Check out make-synchronized if you're looking to provide a synchronized interface to an asynchronous method.
