cookednick / awaitreturn Goto Github PK

Sometimes, within a concurrent context, you need data that is only accessible via asynchronous code. For example, actors work by requiring await statements before their data can be accessed. There is no easy one-line way to do this in Swift as of Swift 5.9.2. AwaitReturn is one easy way to do this.

func getName() {
    // Within the awaitReturn block, you can write async code and return it normally.
    let name = awaitReturn { await someActor.name }
    // We now have a "name" constant of type String in our concurrent context.
    print(name)
}

Include AwaitReturn.swift in your project. That's it.
