+title: "Asynchrony: futures, async, await"
+description: Learn about and practice writing asynchronous code in DartPad!
+---
+This codelab teaches you how to write asynchronous code using
+futures and the `async` and `await` keywords. Using the embedded DartPad 
+editors, you can test your knowledge by running example code and completing
+exercises.
+
+To get the most out of this codelab, you should have the following:
+* Knowledge of [basic Dart syntax](/samples).
+* Some experience writing asynchronous code in another language.
+
+This codelab covers the following material:
+
+* How and when to use the `async` and `await` keywords.
+* How using `async` and `await` affects execution order. 
+* How to handle errors from an asynchronous call using `try-catch` expressions
+in `async` functions.
+
+Estimated time to complete this codelab: 40-60 minutes.
+
+## Why asynchronous code matters
+
+Asynchronous operations let your program complete work while waiting for 
+another operation to finish. Here are some common asynchronous operations: 
+
+* Fetching data over a network.
+* Writing to a database.
+* Reading data from a file.
+
+To perform asynchronous operations in Dart, you can use the `Future` class
+and the `async` and `await` keywords. 
+
+### Example: Incorrectly using an asynchronous function
+The following example shows the wrong way to use an asynchronous function
+(`getUserOrder()`). Later you'll fix the example using `async` and `await`. 
+Before running this example, try to spot the issue -- what do you think the
+output will be? 
+
+[//]: https://gist.github.com/5c8c7716b6b4284842f15fe079f61e47
+<iframe

+  style="border: 1px solid lightgrey; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 25px"
+  frameborder="no"
+  height="420"
+  width="100%" >
+</iframe>
+
+Here's why the example fails to print the value that `getUserOrder()` eventually
+produces:
+
+* `getUserOrder()` is an asynchronous function that, after a delay, 
+provides a string that describes the user's order: a "Large Latte".
+* To get the user's order, `createOrderMessage()` should call `getUserOrder()`
+and wait for it to finish. Because `createOrderMessage()` does *not* wait 
+for `getUserOrder()` to finish, `createOrderMessage()` fails to get the string 
+value that `getUserOrder()` eventually provides. 
+* Instead, `createOrderMessage()` gets a representation of pending work to be
+done: an uncompleted future. You'll learn more about futures in the next section.
+* Because `createOrderMessage()` fails to get the value describing the user's 
+order, the example fails to print "Large Latte" to the console, and instead 
+prints "Your order is: Instance of '_Future<String>'".
+
+In the next sections you'll learn the about futures, `async`, and `await`
+so that you'll be able to write the code necessary to make `getUserOrder()` 
+print the desired value ("Large Latte") to the console.
+
+ {{ site.alert.secondary }} 
+ **Key terms:** 
+* **synchronous operation**: A synchronous operation blocks other operations
+from executing until it completes. 
+* **synchronous function**: A synchronous function only performs synchronous
+operations.
+* **asynchronous operation**: Once initiated, an asynchronous operation allows 
+other operations to execute before it completes.
+* **asynchronous function**: An asynchronous function performs at least one 
+asynchronous operation and can also perform _synchronous_ operations. 
+ {{ site.alert.end }}
+
+
+## What is a future?
+A future (lower case "f") is an instance of the [Future][future class]
+(capitalized "F") class. A future represents the result of an asynchronous 
+operation, and can have two states: uncompleted or completed.
+
+{{ site.alert.note }}
+  _Uncompleted_ is a Dart term referring to the state of a future
+  before it has produced a value.
+{{ site.alert.end }}
+
+### Uncompleted
+
+When you call an asynchronous function, it returns an uncompleted future. 
+That future is waiting for the function's asynchronous operation to finish or to
+throw an error. 
+
+### Completed
+If the asynchronous operation succeeds, the future completes with a 
+value. Otherwise it completes with an error.
+
+#### Completing with a value
+
+A future of type `Future<T>` completes with a value of type `T`.
+For example, a future with type `Future<String>` produces a string value.
+If a future doesn't produce a usable value, then the future's type is 
+`Future<void>`.
+
+#### Completing with an error
+
+If the asynchronous operation performed by the function fails for any reason, the 
+future completes with an error.
+
+### Example: Introducing futures
+
+In the following example, `getUserOrder()` returns a future that completes after
+printing to the console. Because it doesn't return a usable value, 
+`getUserOrder()` has the type `Future<void>`. Before you run the example, 
+try to predict which will print first: "Large Latte" or "Fetching user order...".
+

+  frameborder="no"
+  height="300"
+  width="100%" >
+</iframe>
+
+In the preceding example, even though `getUserOrder()` executes before 
+the `print()` call on line 8, the console shows the output from line 8 
+("Fetching user order...") before the output from `getUserOrder()` ("Large Latte").
+This is because `getUserOrder()` delays before it prints "Large Latte". 
+
+### Example: Completing with an error
+Run the following example to see how a future completes with an error.
+A bit later you'll learn how to handle the error.
+
+[//]: https://gist.github.com/d843061bbd9388b837c57613dc6d5125

+  frameborder="no"
+  height="275"
+  width="100%" >
+</iframe>
+
+In this example, `getUserOrder()` completes with an error indicating that the 
+user ID is invalid.
+
+You've learned about futures and how they complete, but how do you use the 
+results of asynchronous functions? In the next section you'll learn how to get 
+results with the `async` and `await` keywords. 
+
+{{ site.alert.secondary }}
+  **Quick review:**
+  * A [Future\<T\>][future class] instance produces a value of type `T`. 
+  * If a future doesn't produce a usable value, then the future's type is 
+  `Future<void>`.
+  * A future can be in one of two states: uncompleted or completed. 
+  * When you call a function that returns a future, the function queues up 
+  work to be done and returns an uncompleted future.
+  * When a future's operation finishes, the future completes with a value or 
+  with an error.
+
+**Key terms:**
+* **Future**: the Dart [Future][future class] class.
+
+* **future**: an instance of the Dart Future class.
+{{ site.alert.end }}
+
+## Working with futures: async and await
+
+The `async` and `await` keywords provide a declarative way to define 
+asynchronous functions and use their results. Remember these two basic guidelines
+when using `async` and `await`: 
+* __To define an async function, add `async` before the function body:__
+* __The `await` keyword works only in `async` functions.__
+
+Here's an example  that converts `main()` from a synchronous to asynchronous
+function.
+
+First, add the `async` keyword before the function body:
+{% prettify dart %}
+    main() [!async!] {
+{% endprettify %}
+
+If the function has a declared return type, then update the type to be
+`Future<T>`, where `T` is the type of the value that the function returns. 
+If the function doesn't explicitly return a value, then the return type is
+`Future<void>`:
+
+{% prettify dart %}
+    [!Future<void>!] main() async {
+{% endprettify %}
+
+Now that you have an `async` function, you can use the `await` keyword to wait
+for a future to complete:
+{% prettify dart %}
+    print(await createOrderMessage());
+{% endprettify %}
+
+
+As the following two examples show, the `async` and `await` keywords result in 
+asynchronous code that looks a lot like synchronous code. 
+The only differences are highlighted in the asynchronous example, which — if 
+your window is wide enough — is to the right of the synchronous example.
+
+<div class="container">
+  <div class="row">
+    <div class="col-sm">
+    <h4> Example: synchronous functions</h4>
+
+{% prettify dart %}
+// Synchronous
+String createOrderMessage () {
+  var order = getUserOrder();
+  return 'Your order is: $order';
+}
+
+Future<String> getUserOrder() {
+  // Imagine that this function is
+  // more complex and slow.
+  return 
+    Future.delayed(
+      Duration(seconds: 4), () => 'Large Latte'); 
+}
+
+// Synchronous
+main() {
+  print('Fetching user order...');
+  print(createOrderMessage());
+}
+
+// "Your order is: Instance of '_Future<String>'"
+{% endprettify %}
+    </div>
+    <div class="col-sm">
+    <h4> Example: asynchronous functions</h4>
+
+{% prettify dart %}
+// Asynchronous
+[!Future<String>!] createOrderMessage () [!async!] {
+  var order = [!await!] getUserOrder();
+  return 'Your order is: $order';
+}
+
+Future<String> getUserOrder() {
+  // Imagine that this function is
+  // more complex and slow.
+  return
+   Future.delayed(
+     Duration(seconds: 4), () => 'Large Latte');
+}
+
+// Asynchronous
+main() [!async!] {
+  print('Fetching user order...');
+  print([!await!] createOrderMessage());
+}
+
+// "Your order is: Large Latte"
+{% endprettify %}
+    </div>
+  </div>
+</div>
+
+The asynchronous example is different in three ways:
+  * The return type for `createOrderMessage()` changes from `String` to 
+  `Future<String>`.
+  * The **`async`** keyword appears before the function bodies for 
+  `createOrderMessage()` and `main()`.
+  * The **`await`** keyword appears before calling the asynchronous functions 
+  `getUserOrder()` and `createOrderMessage()`.
+
+{{ site.alert.secondary }}
+  **Key terms:**
+* **async**: You can use the `async` keyword before a function's body to mark it as
+asynchronous.
+* **async function**:  An `async` function is a function labeled with the `async` 
+keyword. 
+* **await**: You can use the `await` keyword to get the completed result of an
+asynchronous expression. The `await` keyword only works within an `async` function.
+{{ site.alert.end }}
+
+### Execution flow with async and await
+
+An `async` function runs synchronously until the first
+`await` keyword. This means that within an `async` function body, all
+synchronous code before the first `await` keyword executes immediately. 
+
+{{ site.alert.note }}
+Before Dart 2.0, an `async` function returned immediately,
+without executing any code within the `async` function body.
+{{ site.alert.end }}
+
+### Example: Execution within async functions
+Run the following example to see how execution proceeds within an `async` 
+function body. What do you think the output will be?
+
+[//]: https://gist.github.com/d7abfdea1ae5596e96c7c0203d975dba
+<iframe 
+  src="https://dartpad.dartlang.org/experimental/embed-new-dart.html?id=d7abfdea1ae5596e96c7c0203d975dba"

+  frameborder="no"
+  height="600"
+  width="100%">
+</iframe>
+
+After running the code in the preceding example, try reversing line 4 and line 5:
+
+{% prettify dart %}
+  var order = await getUserOrder();
+  print('Awaiting user order...');
+{% endprettify %}
+
+Notice that timing of the output shifts, now that `print('Awaiting user order')`
+appears after the first `await` keyword in `createOrderMessage()`.
+
+### Exercise: Practice using async and await
+
+The following exercise is a failing unit test that contains partially completed
+code snippets. Your task is to complete the exercise by writing code to make the 
+tests pass. 
+You don't need to implement `main()`.
+
+To simulate asynchronous operations, call the following functions, which are 
+provided for you:
+
+<!-- dart annotation format borrowed from  
+https://api.dartlang.org/stable/2.4.0/dart-developer/dart-developer-library.html -->
+<!-- See e.g. getCurrentTag() → UserTag -->
+
+|------------------+--------------------------------+-------------|
+| Function         | Type signature                 | Description |
+|------------------|--------------------------------|-------------|
+| getRole()        | `Future<String> getRole()`     | Gets a short description of the user's role. |
+| getLoginAmount() | `Future<int> getLoginAmount()` | Gets the number of times a user has logged in. |
+{:.table .table-striped}
+
+
+#### Part 1: `reportUserRole()`
+
+Add code to the `reportUserRole()` function so that it does the following:
+<!-- Some bulleted items are intentionally lacking punctuation to avoid 
+confusing the users about characters in string values -->
+* Returns a future that completes with the following 
+string: `"User role: <user role>"`
+  * Note: You must use the actual value returned by `getRole()`; copying and 
+  pasting the example return value won't make the test pass. 
+  * Example return value: `"User role: tester"` 
+* Gets the user role by calling the provided function `getRole()`. 
+
+####  Part 2: `reportLogins()`
+Implement an `async` function `reportLogins()` so that it does the following:
+* Returns the string `"Total number of logins: <# of logins>"`.
+  * Note: You must use the actual value returned by `getLoginAmount()`; copying 
+  and pasting the example return value won't make the test pass.
+  * Example return value from `reportLogins()`: `"Total number of logins: 57"` 
+* Gets the number of logins by calling the provided function `getLoginAmount()`.

+
+  {{ site.alert.info }}

+  {{ site.alert.end }}
+
+## Handling errors
+To handle errors in an `async` function, use try-catch: 
+
+```dart
+  try {
+    var order = await getUserOrder();
+    print('Awaiting user order...');
+  } catch (err) {
+    print('Caught error: $err');
+  }
+```
+Within an `async` function, you can write [try-catch clauses](/guides/language/language-tour#catch)
+the same way you would in synchronous code. 
+
+### Example: async and await with try-catch
+Run the following example to see how to handle an error from an 
+asynchronous function. What do you think the output will be?
+<!-- [//]: https://gist.github.com/25ade03f0632878a9169209e3cd7bef2 -->
+<iframe 
+  src="https://dartpad.dartlang.org/experimental/embed-new-dart.html?id=25ade03f0632878a9169209e3cd7bef2"
+  style="border: 1px solid lightgrey;"
+  frameborder="no"
+  height="525"
+  width="100%" >
+</iframe>
+
+### Exercise: Practice handling errors
+
+The following exercise provides practice handling errors with asynchronous code,
+using the approach described in the previous section. To simulate asynchronous
+operations, your code will call the following function, which is provided for you:
+
+|------------------+-----------------------------------+-------------|
+| Function         | Type signature                    | Description |
+|------------------|-----------------------------------|-------------|
+| getNewUsername() | `Future<String> getNewUsername()` | Returns the new username that you can use to replace an old one.|
+{:.table .table-striped}
+
+Use `async` and `await` to implement an asynchronous `changeUsername()` function 
+that does the following:
+* Calls the provided asynchronous function `getNewUsername()` and returns its result.
+  * Example return value from `changeUsername()`: `"jane_smith_92"` 
+* Catches any error that occurs and returns the string value of the error.
+  * You can use the [toString()]({{site.dart_api}}/stable/dart-core/ArgumentError/toString.html) method to stringify both [Exceptions]({{site.dart_api}}/stable/dart-core/Exception-class.html) and [Errors.]({{site.dart_api}}/stable/dart-core/Error-class.html)

+## Exercise: Putting it all together
+
+It's time to practice what you've learned in one final exercise. 
+To simulate asynchronous operations, this exercise provides the asynchronous 
+functions `getUsername()` and `logoutUser()`: 
+
+|------------------+-----------------------------------+-------------|
+| Function         | Type signature                    | Description |
+|------------------|-----------------------------------|-------------|
+| getUsername()    | `Future<String> getUsername()`    |      Returns the name associated with the current user.|
+| logoutUser()    | `Future<String> logoutUser()`    |      Performs logout of current user and returns the username that was logged out.|
+{:.table .table-striped}
+
+Write the following:
+
+####  Part 1: `addHello()` 
+* Write a function `addHello()` that takes a single String argument. 
+* `addHello()` returns its String argument surrounded by the text ‘Hello \<string\>'
+
+####  Part 2: `greetUser()` 
+* Write a function `greetUser()` that takes no arguments.
+* To obtain the username, `greetUser()` calls the provided asynchronous 
+function `getUsername()`
+* `greetUser()` creates a greeting for the user by calling `addHello()`, 
+passing it the username, and returning the result. 
+  * For example, if the username is "Jenny", `greetUser()` should create and
+   return the following: "Hello Jenny"
+
+####  Part 3: `sayGoodbye()` 
+* Write a function `sayGoodbye()` that does the following:
+  * Takes no arguments.
+  * Catches any errors.
+  * Calls the provided asynchronous function `logoutUser()`.
+* If `logoutUser()` succeeds, `sayGoodbye()` returns the string "\<result\> 
+Thanks, see you next time" where \<result\> is the String value returned by calling `logoutUser()`.
+
+    <!-- [//]: https://gist.github.com/f601d25bc2833c957186e3c6bf71effc -->

+  height="550"
+  width="100%">
+</iframe>
+
+{{ site.alert.info }}
+  You might have noticed that the functions in the exercises don't have return types. That's because Dart can 
+  [infer the return type](https://dart.dev/guides/language/sound-dart#type-inference) 
+   for you. Omitting return types is fine when you're prototyping, but when you write production code, we recommend that you specify the return type.
