|
|
+// Sure, we can solve our async value problem with a global
|
|
|
+// variable. But this hardly seems like an ideal solution.
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+// So how do we REALLY get return values from async functions?
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+// The 'await' keyword waits for an async function to complete
|
|
|
+// and then captures its return value.
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+// fn foo() u32 {
|
|
|
+// return 5;
|
|
|
+// }
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+// var foo_frame = async foo(); // invoke and get frame
|
|
|
+// var value = await foo_frame; // await result using frame
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+// The above example is just a silly way to call foo() and get 5
|
|
|
+// back. But if foo() did something more interesting such as wait
|
|
|
+// for a network response to get that 5, our code would pause
|
|
|
+// until the value was ready.
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+// As you can see, async/await basically splits a function call
|
|
|
+// into two parts:
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+// 1. Invoke the function ('async')
|
|
|
+// 2. Getting the return value ('await')
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+// Also notice that a 'suspend' keyword does NOT need to exist in
|
|
|
+// a function to be called in an async context.
|
|
|
+//
|
|
|
+// Please use 'await' to get the string returned by
|
|
|
+// getPageTitle().
