I've added it because the project explicitly instructs you to create settings for .vscode in the CONTRIBUTING.md.

## `deferFn`

> `function(args: any[], props: Object, controller: AbortController): Promise`
> `function(context: C, props: AsyncOptions, controller: AbortController): Promise`
A function that returns a promise. This is invoked only by manually calling `run(...args)`. Receives the same arguments as `promiseFn`, as well as any arguments to `run` which are passed through as an array. The `deferFn` is commonly used to send data to the server following a user action, such as submitting a form. You can use this in conjunction with `promiseFn` to fill the form with existing data, then updating it on submit with `deferFn`.

# Upgrading

## Upgrade to v11

### promiseFn and deferFn unification

The `promiseFn` and the `deferFn` have been unified. They now share the following signature:

```ts
export type AsyncFn<T, C> = (
context: C | undefined,
props: AsyncProps<T, C>,
controller: AbortController
) => Promise<T>
```

Before the `deferFn` and `promiseFn` had this signature:

```ts
export type PromiseFn<T> = (props: AsyncProps<T>, controller: AbortController) => Promise<T>

export type DeferFn<T> = (
args: any[],
props: AsyncProps<T>,
controller: AbortController
) => Promise<T>
```

The difference is the idea of having a `context`, the context will contain all parameters
to `AsyncProps` which are not native to the `AsyncProps`. Before you could pass any parameter
to `AsyncProps` and it would pass them to the `deferFn` and `promiseFn`, now you need to use
the `context` instead.

The difference is the idea of having a `context`, the context will contain all parameters

The difference is the introduction of a `context` parameter. The context will contain all parameters
to `AsyncProps` which are not native to `AsyncProps`. Before you could pass any parameter
to `AsyncProps` and it would pass them to the `deferFn` and `promiseFn`; now you need to put them in the `context` instead.


For example before you could write:

```jsx
useAsync({ promiseFn: loadPlayer, playerId: 1 })
```

Now you must write:

```jsx
useAsync({ promiseFn: loadPlayer, context: { playerId: 1 }})
```

In the above example the context would be `{playerId: 1}`.

This means that `promiseFn` now expects three parameters instead of two.

So before in `< 10.0.0` you would do this:

```jsx
import { useAsync } from "react-async"

// Here loadPlayer has only two arguments
const loadPlayer = async (options, controller) => {
const res = await fetch(`/api/players/${options.playerId}`, { signal: controller.signal })
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(res.statusText)
return res.json()
}

// With hooks
const MyComponent = () => {
const state = useAsync({ promiseFn: loadPlayer, playerId: 1 })
}

// With the Async component
<Async promiseFn={loadPlayer} playerId={1} />
```

In `11.0.0` you need to account for the three parameters:

```jsx
import { useAsync } from "react-async"

// Now it has three arguments
const loadPlayer = async (context, options, controller) => {
const res = await fetch(`/api/players/${context.playerId}`, { signal: controller.signal })
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(res.statusText)
return res.json()
}

// With hooks
const MyComponent = () => {
const state = useAsync({ promiseFn: loadPlayer, context: { playerId: 1 } })
}

// With the Async component
<Async promiseFn={loadPlayer} context={{ playerId: 1 }} />
```

For the `deferFn` this means no longer expecting an array of arguments but instead a singular argument.
The `run` now accepts only one argument which is a singular value. All other arguments to `run` but
the first will be ignored.

So before in `< 10.0.0` you would do this:

```jsx
import Async from "react-async"

const getAttendance = () =>
fetch("/attendance").then(
() => true,
() => false
)
const updateAttendance = ([attend, userId]) =>
fetch(`/attendance/${userId}`, { method: attend ? "POST" : "DELETE" }).then(
() => attend,
() => !attend
)

const userId = 42

const AttendanceToggle = () => (
<Async promiseFn={getAttendance} deferFn={updateAttendance}>
{({ isPending, data: isAttending, run, setData }) => (
<Toggle
on={isAttending}
onClick={() => {
run(!isAttending, userId)
}}
disabled={isPending}
/>
)}
</Async>
)
```

In `11.0.0` you need to account for for the parameters not being an array:

```jsx
import Async from "react-async"

const getAttendance = () =>
fetch("/attendance").then(
() => true,
() => false
)
const updateAttendance = ({ attend, userId }) =>
fetch(`/attendance/${userId}`, { method: attend ? "POST" : "DELETE" }).then(
() => attend,
() => !attend
)

const userId = 42

const AttendanceToggle = () => (
<Async promiseFn={getAttendance} deferFn={updateAttendance}>
{({ isPending, data: isAttending, run, setData }) => (
<Toggle
on={isAttending}
onClick={() => {
run({ attend: isAttending, userId })
}}
disabled={isPending}
/>
)}
</Async>
)
```

### useAsync only accepts one prop

Before in `10.0.0` you could call useAsync with multiple parameters,
the first argument would then be the `promiseFn` like this:

```tsx
const state = useAsync(loadPlayer, { context: { playerId: 1 } })
```

In `11.0.0` there is only one parameter. So the overload no longer works and you need to write this instead:

```tsx
const state = useAsync({ promiseFn: loadPlayer, context: { playerId: 1 } })
```

### WatchFn

Another thing you need to be careful about is the `watchFn` you can no longer count on the fact that
unknown parameters are put into the `AsyncProps`. Before `< 10.0.0` you would write:

```ts
useAsync({
promiseFn,
count: 0,
watchFn: (props, prevProps) => props.count !== prevProps.count
});
```

In `11.0.0` you need to use the `context` instead:

```ts
useAsync({
promiseFn,
context: { count: 0 },
watchFn: (props, prevProps) => props.context.count !== prevProps.context.count
});
```

## Upgrade to v10

This is a major release due to the migration to TypeScript. While technically it shouldn't change anything, it might be a breaking change in certain situations. Theres also a bugfix for watchFn and a fix for legacy browsers.
