Run another operation concurrently as a child of the current one.

The spawned operation will begin executing immediately and control will return to the caller when it reaches its first suspend point.

Example

import { main, sleep, suspend, spawn } from 'effection';

await main(function*() {
  yield* spawn(function*() {
    yield* sleep(1000);
    console.log("hello");
  });
  yield* spawn(function*() {
    yield* sleep(2000);
    console.log("world");
  });
  yield* suspend();
});

You should prefer using the spawn operation over calling Scope.run from within Effection code. The reason being that a synchronous failure in the spawned operation will not be caught until the next yield point when using run, which results in lines being executed that should not.

Example

import { main, suspend, spawn, useScope } from 'effection';

await main(function*() {
  yield* useScope();

  scope.run(function*() {
   throw new Error('boom!');
  });

  console.log('this code will run and probably should not');

  yield* suspend(); // <- error is thrown after this.
});
