WebTask and WebTask<T>

Use the custom objects WebTask and WebTask<T> to handle asynchronous calls to the Facebook Instant Games SDK in a single-threaded environment.

Promises in the Instant Games SDK

Many endpoints in the Instant Games JavaScript SDK are asynchronous and return Promises that may or may not contain a value.

The closest equivalents to Promises in C# are:

• System.Threading.Tasks.Task
• System.Threading.Tasks.Task<TResult>

Because Unity’s Web platform is a single-threaded environment, it doesn’t support these classes.

WebTask and WebTask<T>

This package provides WebTask and WebTask<T>, partial replacements for Task and Task<TResult> for a single-threaded environment.

You can use WebTask and WebTask<T> as follows:

• In await expressions, including with Unity's Awaitable class.
• As the return type for async methods.
• With Unity coroutines.
