Mastering the TypeScript Async/Await Arrow Function Syntax in React

When working with TypeScript in React, handling asynchronous operations can be a bit tricky, especially when you're used to JavaScript's async/await syntax. Recently, a developer encountered some issues while trying to use async/await in an arrow function that compares two values—one fetched from an API endpoint. If you've found yourself in a similar situation or are just curious about best practices relating to async/await, you've come to the right place! Let's dive into a solution for this problem.

The Problem

The developer's initial attempt at creating a function to compare two values resulted in TypeScript errors. They were trying to define a function that would return a Promise<boolean> when called, but the structure and type annotations were incorrect.

Here's the original pseudocode they started with:

The errors they encountered indicated that TypeScript was expecting a function signature that would produce a promise when called, rather than a promise itself.

The Solution

Correcting the Function Declaration

The key misunderstanding was in how they declared their compareValues function. The corrected version should simply be an async function without trying to assign it directly to a type of Promise<boolean>. Here's the right syntax:

What Changed?

Instead of assigning the function to a type Promise<boolean>, the function itself simply returns a promise naturally when it's invoked, due to the async declaration.

The value2 variable is now awaited correctly—this ensures that the function waits for the API response before performing the comparison.

Defining the Get Value Function

Make sure your getValue2 function fetching data from the API is structured correctly as well:

Interface and Initial State

Finally, ensure that your interface and initial state are set up properly:

Summary

Your compareValues function should be defined as an async function that returns a promise when invoked.

By using async/await, you can manage asynchronous code in a much cleaner way compared to chaining .then(), .catch(), etc.

Always test your API response handling and error catching to ensure your application runs smoothly.

Now you're equipped with the correct syntax for using async/await as arrow functions in TypeScript with React. Remember, handling asynchronous code elegantly leads to cleaner, more maintainable code. Happy coding!
