How does async/await work with TypeScript and ECMAScript 2017? - Firecasts

Did you know that async/await syntax can make your TypeScript (and ECMAScript 2017) easier to read and write? Check out this first of two tutorials to learn async/await for use with Cloud Functions.

Crisp and clear.. I dont understand why other tutorials make it so complex and frightening.

Async Await is a game changer and in my opinion, an order qualifier. I'm glad Google Cloud Functions supports this with typescript.

At last a clear explanation of how to use async/await. Been looking for a video like this for ages. I have just run into this channel for the first time but I will definitely come back.

Doug is so good explaining, he is clear, make things look so easy, great job!

One of the best Promises crash courses in the industry. Kudos on the great work.

Doug, your videos are superb. Crystal clear voice as well. Just wanted to say thanks :)

Doug very well explained. I'm very appreciative about the fact that you chose to take one Firecast to specially explain this concept.. And will make another as the coding Demo. Thanks. Your stuff is really amazing!

Fantastic explanation..very crisp and clear

Love the video, Doug. Great stuff from Jen and you on Cloud Functions. I use CF for 'server less' backend processing and it's cool. It would be great if Firebase includes CRON jobs as well. But one can only wish. :) Really looking forward to the Async Await CF for Typescript video. Keep 'em coming.

Thanks Doug for answering my question on SO

This helped me a lot in understanding async/await .. thanks!

[javierbryan]

These are really great indeed. I also enjoy your enthusiasm 😂.

[mjcortez]

beautiful!!! I got my answer in the first 30sec but I stayed for the lesson.

[erickgiffoni]

Thank you so much, Doug ! You and your team are helping me a lot !

[Rixment]

I actually chuckled at "await function" :)))

[nemanjastankovic]

Your video is brilliant. Great regards from Serbia ;)

[osagiezogie]

You are awesome! These are fine videos, love your sense of humour as well!

i never laughed so much in a programing tutorial :D

i am getting following error " An async function or method in ES5/ES3 requires the 'Promise' constructor. Make sure you have a declaration for the 'Promise' constructor or include 'ES2015' in your `--lib` option."

Hi, are there any performance differences between normal JavaScript promises and Async Await in Firebase Cloud Functions? Based on my experience, normal JavaScript ones tend to run faster.
