Coroutines Basics

// === Kotlin Coroutines Examples ===

// Basic suspend function
// suspend fun fetchUser(id: Int): User {
//     return withContext(Dispatchers.IO) {
//         api.getUser(id)  // Network call on IO thread
//     }
// }
//
// // Launch coroutine (Android ViewModel)
// class UserViewModel : ViewModel() {
//     private val _user = MutableStateFlow(null)
//     val user: StateFlow = _user.asStateFlow()
//
//     fun loadUser(id: Int) {
//         viewModelScope.launch {
//             try {
//                 _user.value = fetchUser(id)
//             } catch (e: Exception) {
//                 _error.value = e.message
//             }
//         }
//     }
// }
//
// // Parallel async calls
// suspend fun loadProfile(userId: Int): Profile {
//     return coroutineScope {
//         val user = async { fetchUser(userId) }
//         val posts = async { fetchPosts(userId) }
//         val followers = async { fetchFollowers(userId) }
//         Profile(user.await(), posts.await(), followers.await())
//     }
// }
//
// // Flow for reactive streams
// fun searchUsers(query: String): Flow<List<User>> = flow {
//     val results = api.search(query)
//     emit(results)
// }.flowOn(Dispatchers.IO)
//
// // Collect in UI
// lifecycleScope.launch {
//     viewModel.searchUsers("kotlin")
//         .debounce(300)
//         .distinctUntilChanged()
//         .collect { users -> adapter.submitList(users) }
// }

เคล็ดลับ

• viewModelScope: ใช้ viewModelScope ใน Android ป้องกัน Memory Leak
• Flow: ใช้ Flow แทน LiveData สำหรับ Reactive Stream
• Dispatchers.IO: ใช้ IO สำหรับ Network/DB ไม่ใช้ Main
• Play Store: เผยแพร่แอปบน Play Store เพิ่ม Portfolio
• Blog: เขียน Kotlin Tips สม่ำเสมอ สร้าง Authority
