Angular async pipe hangs on a promise
this is a snippet of my template:
<div class="explanation">
{{ foo() | async }}
</div>
this is the function:
foo(): Promise<string> {
return Promise.resolve('hello');
}
This just hangs the browser. How come? what am i missing?

I think this scenario runs into side effects mentioned in doc. angular.io/guide/template-syntax#avoid-side-effects If I change it to property, everything works fine: stackblitz.com/edit/…

From MDN on Promise.resolve
Warning: Do not call Promise.resolve on a thenable that resolves to itself. This will cause infinite recursion as it tries to flatten what seems to be an infinitely nested promise.
AND
From Angular's Avoid side effects guideline:
evaluation of a template expression should have no visible side effects. The expression language itself does its part to keep you safe. You can't assign a value to anything in a property binding expression nor use the increment and decrement operators.
Your implementation seems to do just that.
Fix:
As suggested by wannadream, assign the promise to a property and then use that property in the template along with the async pipe:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({...})
export class AppComponent {
foo: Promise<string>;
ngOnInit() {
this.foo = Promise.resolve('hello');
}
}
And in the template:
<div class="explanation">
{{ foo | async }}
</div>

Well, what you did was called a function in the template that returns a Promise. The first eg on MDN assigns the return value fromPromise.resolveto a variable and then usesthenon it. It's different from wannadream's suggestion.
