Async.RunSynchronously
cannot be translated because this is simply not possible to implement in JavaScript.
JS is single threaded by nature and the preferred way to write asynchronous code is to have callbacks. Async
in F# basically
saves you from the "callback hell" that arises when chaining async methods but it's semantics are a little different from what you get on .NET.
Therefore your best shot probably is to have the relevant code that deals with the async
calls to live in the Async
"monad" and sooner or later you will want to do something with that data that will have a side effect (e.g. appedning stuff to the DOM, adding items to a list etc.) and you can call Async.Start
on that. You probably wouldn't want to block the user's tab and risk having your script shot down by the browser because it blocks the main thread for too long waiting for the result of a computation.
That being said, if you really need this, you can have your RPC call be synchronous by returning 'T
instead of Async<'T>
but that's almost never a good idea.

How can I return a value from a JavaScript asynchronous function? I'm performing async RPC calls, and want to synchronously return the RPC's return value to other client-side operations.
Normally in F# I would do something like
However, WebSharper tells me it can't translate
Async.RunSynchronously
to JavaScript. All the docs I see containAsync.Start
, wherein the Async task must returnunit
. That would force me to bubble up the Async nature of the RPC call to anything and everything that intended to use it, which isn't very appealing.How can I synchronously return the RPC's return value?
