Function ambient_api::prelude::run_async

Expand description

Runs the given async block (future). This lets your module set up behaviour to run concurrently, like a long-running task. It can return either a ResultEmpty or nothing.

This is similar to tokio::spawn, as well as similar functions from other async runtimes.

Examples

run_async(async {
    notification::broadcast("a title", "hello!");
    sleep(2.0).await;
    notification::broadcast("a title", "hello to you too!");
});
