# TypeScript Async Patterns

Master asynchronous programming patterns in TypeScript, including Promises,
async/await, error handling, async iterators, and advanced patterns for
building robust async applications.

## Promises and async/await

### Basic Promise Creation

```typescript
// Creating a Promise
function delay(ms: number): Promise<void> {
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    setTimeout(resolve, ms);
  });
}

// Promise with value
function fetchUserData(userId: string): Promise<User> {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    // Simulated API call
    setTimeout(() => {
      if (userId) {
        resolve({ id: userId, name: 'John Doe' });
      } else {
        reject(new Error('Invalid user ID'));
      }
    }, 1000);
  });
}

// Using the Promise
fetchUserData('123')
  .then((user) => {
    console.log(user.name);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error('Error:', error.message);
  });
```

### async/await Syntax

```typescript
interface User {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  email: string;
}

interface Post {
  id: string;
  userId: string;
  title: string;
  content: string;
}

// Async function declaration
async function getUserPosts(userId: string): Promise<Post[]> {
  try {
    const user = await fetchUserData(userId);
    const posts = await fetchPostsByUser(user.id);
    return posts;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Failed to fetch user posts:', error);
    throw error;
  }
}

// Async arrow function
const getUserProfile = async (userId: string): Promise<User> => {
  const user = await fetchUserData(userId);
  return user;
};

// Using async/await
async function main() {
  const posts = await getUserPosts('123');
  console.log(`Found ${posts.length} posts`);
}
```

### Type-Safe Promise Wrappers

```typescript
type Result<T, E = Error> =
  | { success: true; data: T }
  | { success: false; error: E };

async function safeAsync<T>(
  promise: Promise<T>
): Promise<Result<T>> {
  try {
    const data = await promise;
    return
