在使用Async和Asp.net Web API时，在angularJS中使用$ timeout是否重要？

Question

I just want to know if it is required to use $timeout in AngularJS as a synchronous way while I'm using Async and Await in my Serverside which is the Asp.Net Web Api .

Please explain me and let me understand if I'm going to use $timeout , Async and Await together.

Answer 1

Async\\Await are server side operators that help you do things async in your server.

$timeout is a angularjs provider that wraps setTimeout and uses the $apply function to sync things in the angular world ( $apply calls digest ).

If you are looking for a way to be async on the client side you should read about promises and deferred objects - This is the way to work async on the client (it doesn't matter if I'm async on server or not).
