asyncDisposableStack[Symbol.asyncDispose]()

Parameters

None.

Return value

None (undefined).

Examples

Declaring a stack with await using

The Symbol.asyncDispose method is intended to be automatically called in an await using declaration.

async function doSomething() {
  await using disposer = new AsyncDisposableStack();
  const resource = disposer.use(new Resource());
  resource.doSomething();
  // disposer is disposed here immediately before the function exits
  // which causes the resource to be disposed
}
