Asynchronous actions are a great way to increase the Speed of your app. They allow the user to continue browsing the website without having to refresh the page or wait for it to load. Additionally, errors can be presented as notifications which the user can choose to dismiss or acknowledge.
Error handling is a common source of delay in app development, so error handling is a common way to speed up an app. Error handling is typically done via middleware, which takes in an object and handles either retrying or notifying the user when an error occurs.
Middleware is typically placed at the beginning of an app’s code structure, before any other logic is added. This allows it to be processed by other code components and errors are caught early on.
This article will talk about how to use custom middleware for error handling using async actions.
Use Promise helper functions
The Promise helper functions are provided by Angular. They help you take care of common tasks when building asynchronous applications.
Using these, you can easily save time developing your applications by providing easy to use promises.
You can find them at @angular/common/promises.

Use the async / await syntax

The async / await syntax allows your actions to be awaited, making them independent of the rest of your code. This can be useful for creating flows or APIs, where other parts of your code can run after the action but before the response.
Error: Only Use The Plain Object Awaiter Syntax For Asynchronous Actions.
Using the async / await syntax requires you to define a wrapped object as an action. This can be done in two ways: by using an object attribute on a function or method, or by defining an action as a custom middleware.
Middleware allows custom functions or methods to be chained together to form larger functions or rules. Middleware is typically used when there are multiple objectives to achieve with an action, but only one middleware is available.
Create a custom middleware for synchronous actions

If you want your app to be asynchronous, create a custom middleware that handles your actions asynchronously. This middleware can use custom logic to wait for a response from the API or app, or it can continue with an error if no response is received.
The best way to create a custom middleware is by using application services. Most apps have an application service that handles things like sending notifications, managing user account accounts, and providing access to APIs.
Once you have created your middleware, you can test it by sending an action that requires a response. If the action fails because of the middleware, your app will display an error message and possibly stop working.
As an example of how to use this feature, let’s look at some code. We will modify our signup form so that the user must confirm their email address. When they submit their information, they will receive a confirmation email.
Use callback functions

Most frameworks require an action to be a plain object, like a request or response. This is due to framework limitations, not ours!
Asynchronous actions can be handled asynchronously with custom middleware. This means that the middleware handles the action as an object and calls a method on the object to complete the task.
The advantage of using middleware is that you do not have to write callbacks for each task in your application. You just need to write your middleware for requests and responses, and those can be called asynchronously!
Adding support for callback functions in actions is an easy way to add support for asynchronous tasks. We can do this by adding callbacks after the action construction, like so:
function askName(name) { // Ask the user for their name var nameAction = new Action(askName); nameAction.
Avoid using the asynchronous syntax for actions

The asynchronous syntax for actions is common in Angular. The typical action scenario is:
Topic A/B/C Send New Email, Update Database Record, Add New Member to Chapter
In the previous examples, we used the traditional syntax for actions: $http.post(url_for_action(), topic_name). This syntax works great if the action is a plain object like a email or database record update.
But what if you have an action that needs to be done asynchronously? For example, let’s say we have a membership application where you must create a membership account. You may want your members to be able to login and join your group right away, so we must add an Async Login feature.
Avoid using Promises for handling responses

When building web applications, you will often need to handle requests and responses. Web applications that take requests and responses are like bank offices: you need to go!
In addition to taking requests and responding to them, handling errors is a vital part of the software development stack. You can’t respond to an error if you don’t first obtain a request or response.
However, in the world of web apps, there are sometimes tradeoffs between simplicity and reliability. For example, while it may be easy to create an app that responds with a specific answer or takes a certain length of time to respond, one cannot predict if that will always be the case.
That is why it is important to stay aware of your application’s error handling schemes. Error handling schemes are typically implemented using Promises – specifically, Error Promises.
Use the fetch API with JSON data

Many Node.js applications use the fetch API to retrieve data from the internet. The fetch API allows you to send requests through your application, and responds with data in the form of a response object.
The response object includes data such as an href or download location, which you can use to download or access the data in your application. You can even programmatically send requests using the fetch API, making it easy to integrate with other applications.
When using the fetch API with JSON data, there are some conventions that must be followed. For example, values of types must be quoted appropriately and spaces between them must be inserted. Also, for items in an array or list, there must be a space between each item!
Error: Action Must Be An Object! Use Custom Middleware For Async Actions.
Using custom middleware will help prevent this problem, as it quotes values appropriately and puts spacing between them.
Handle validation errors properly

When an action fails due to invalid data, do not just return a different action. That would be bad debugging practice! Instead, display an error message or notify the user that an action was not performed.
This is important to do when using Redux because the store is responsible for validation. If the store does not match the actions provided, an error is returned and the user is notified immediately.
Error handling can be tricky on mobile devices because of limited screen real estate. You may need to use custom middleware or a combination of middleware to ensure that users are notified of validation errors.
