The code sends an HTTP request to an identity server, handling the response and any errors through asynchronous operations and result/error handling functions. The process involves initiating the request, sending a request to the identity server, and then handling the response or error through a then block and catch block respectively.
$.async();
getIdentityServer()
.then(r => $.sendResult(r))
.catch(e => $.sendError(e));
/**
* Asynchronously retrieve the identity server information.
* @returns {Promise<string>} A promise resolving to the identity server response.
*/
async function identifyServer() {
try {
const response = await getIdentityServer();
return sendResult(response);
} catch (error) {
sendError(error);
}
}
/**
* Sends the result of the operation to the client.
* @param {string} result - The result to be sent.
*/
function sendResult(result) {
$.sendResult(result);
}
/**
* Sends the error of the operation to the client.
* @param {Error} error - The error to be sent.
*/
function sendError(error) {
$.sendError(error);
}
/**
* Asynchronous entry point for the operation.
*/
async function main() {
await identifyServer();
}
main();
```
However, since your code snippet uses the async function directly, you can also make use of async/await to remove the then and catch blocks.
```javascript
/**
* Asynchronously retrieve the identity server information.
* @returns {Promise<string>} A promise resolving to the identity server response.
*/
async function identifyServer() {
try {
const response = await getIdentityServer();
$.sendResult(response);
} catch (error) {
$.sendError(error);
}
}
/**
* Asynchronous entry point for the operation.
*/
async function main() {
await identifyServer();
}
main();
The code sends an HTTP request to an identity server, handling the response and any potential errors.
$.async()
: Initiates an asynchronous operation.getIdentityServer()
: A function that makes an HTTP request to an identity server.$.sendResult(r)
and $.sendError(e)
: Functions to handle the response and error respectively.$.async()
is called to initiate the request.getIdentityServer()
is called, sending a request to the identity server.then
block: If the request is successful, the response r
is sent using $.sendResult(r)
.catch
block: If an error occurs, the error e
is sent using $.sendError(e)
