When you examine TypeScript's async function, you may notice the redundancy with "async" and "Promise<type>".
public async test(): Promise<string> {
return "Test";
}
Is there a way to configure TypeScript to handle async types without using the "Promise<T>" type? Can we simply use "T" alone, like this:
public async test(): string {
return "Test";
}
I encountered an error when trying to omit "Promise< >": "The return type of an async function or method must be the global Promise<T> type. Did you mean to write 'Promise<number>'?ts(1064)"
The question revolves around avoiding boilerplate code. It is well-known that an async fn() always returns a Promise, so why do we have to explicitly specify "Promise<T>" - @josh3736
