⏳ Experimental library focused in enabling the usage of "await" in class constructors following an async customized pattern

Asynclass

Asynclass is a library that allows the developer to create projects using asynchronous constructors, following a Config-Init-Catch pattern. The main objective is to expand asynchronous driven development to cover OOP concepts concisely.

Basic usage

With Asynclass, it is possible to create async constructors that can be called using the new keyword. This allows asynchronous methods and features to be executed directly on the object's construction, acting as a "sugar" to reduce code, improve readability and make new ways to develop programs.

Async classes can be called as the following:

var currentWeather = await new WeatherInfo(DateTime.Now);

Console.WriteLine($"The current temperature is {currentWeather.Temperature}"); 
Console.WriteLine($"The current wind speed is {currentWeather.WindSpeed}"); 

using Asynclass;
using System;

class WeatherInfo : Async<WeatherInfo> 
{
    public double Temperature { get; set; }
    public double WindSpeed { get; set; }
    
    public WeatherInfo(DateTime dateTime) 
    {
        Init(async () => 
        {
            Temperature = await _externalService.GetTemperature();
            WindSpeed = await _externalService.GetWindSpeed();
        });
    }
}
