Async issues

[jasonhutton-sd]

Calling a function that is using async and await and it does not appear to be working. Any ideas?

[JohannesKlauss]

Please provide a bit more context, preferably a codesandbox so I can reproduce the issue. Are you calling a async function inside the callback or is you callback itself async? Also: What exactly isn't working?

I can't really share too much but let's try.

I had a function that was like this:
const deleteItem = async () => { const result = await serverCall(); ... do something with the results }
Then when I would use the use the following
useHotkeys('ctrl+d', () => deleteItem());

It would not have the results available and would fail the follow up actions as the results were null.
I also tried using
useHotkeys('ctrl+d', async () => await deleteItem());

Same result. When I do a direct onKeyDown event and handler it works great. I think you have to somehow account for the async/await to bubble up though the react-hotkeys code.

Thanks

I can't really see how that would relate to the hook, since it's just syntactic sugar around promise fulfillment.
Can you build up a codesandbox that illustrates the issue?

I'm experiencing this same issue
