.getAsync()

Description

getAsync tries to download content from the internet. While it hasn't finished downloading, it will return "Loading". This is much better than the .httpGet() method since it will not pause the execution of your app or your ui in order to make a web request at the expense of being more complex to handle and setup.

Parameters

getAsync takes no parameters

Usage

// handling an asyncronous download

downloaded = false
// setup the variable to store if the download is done
mainloop:

if downloaded.not (
    content = "url".getAsync()
    // set the content variable to the data from the asyncronous get request
    
    downloaded = content !== "Loading"
    // if the download completes, ie: is not "Loading" then downloaded becomes true
    // you can totally use an object to store the states of each asyncronous download
)
