**Asyncer** is a small library built on top of [AnyIO](https://anyio.readthedocs.io/en/stable/).

**Asyncer** has a small number of utility functions that allow working with `async`, `await`, and concurrent code in a more convenient way under my ([@tiangolo - Sebastián Ramírez](https://twitter.com/tiangolo)) very opinionated and subjective point of view.

The main goal of **Asyncer** is to improve **developer experience** by providing better support for **autocompletion** and **inline errors** in the editor, and **more certainty** that the code is **bug-free** by providing better support for type checking tools like **mypy**.

**Asyncer** also tries to improve **convenience** and simplicity when working with **async** code **mixed** with regular <abbr title="synchronous code, code that is not async">**blocking code**</abbr>, allowing to use them together in a simpler way... again, under my very **subjective** point of view.

## Can I Use It?

Yes 🎉 (but continue reading).

This is a very small library, there are things that can change and improve in the future.

If you use it, **pin the exact Asyncer version** for your project, to make sure it all works.

Have **tests** for your project (as you should, anyway). And **upgrade the version** once you know that the new version continues to work correctly.

Still, it's **just 4 functions**, so there's not much to change, if you had to refactor your code to update something it would not be much.

And if you don't want to add `asyncer` as a dependency to your project, you can also just copy the main file and try out those functions, it's quite small (but in that case you won't get updates easily).

## Requirements

As **Asyncer** is based on **AnyIO** it will be also installed automatically when you install **Asyncer**.

## Installation

First, [install `uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/), and then add Asyncer to your project:

```console
$ uv add asyncer
---> 100%
```

</div>

If you prefer to use `pip`, install `asyncer` inside a virtual environment. See the [installation guide](tutorial/install.md) for the alternative steps.

## How to Use

You can read more about each of the use cases and utility functions in **Asyncer** in the [tutorial](https://asyncer.tiangolo.com/tutorial/).

As a sneak preview of one of the utilities, you can **call sync code from async code** using `asyncify()`:

```Python
import time

import anyio
from asyncer import asyncify

def do_sync_work(name: str):
    time.sleep(1)
    return f"Hello, {name}"

async def main():
    message = await asyncify(do_sync_work)(name="World")
    print(message)

anyio.run(main)
```

**Asyncer**'s `asyncify()` will use AnyIO underneath to do *the smart thing*, avoid blocking the main **async** event loop, and run the **sync**/blocking function in a **worker thread**.

### Editor Support

Everything in **Asyncer** is designed to get the best **developer experience** possible, with the best editor support.

* **Autocompletion** for function arguments:

* **Autocompletion** for return values:

* **Inline errors** in editor:

* Support for tools like **mypy**, that can help you verify that your **code is correct**, and prevent many bugs.
