What this snippet does
Returning a discriminated union from async functions eliminates the need for try/catch blocks in the consumer code.
Expected output
{ ok: true, data: 'success' }Why practise typing this
Typing async & promises code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation TypeScript uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
