What methods can be used to work with Future in your experience or in general?

In Flutter, there are several approaches to working with Future:

  • async/await — the most convenient way to write asynchronous code that looks like synchronous:
Future<String> fetchData() async {
  final data = await someAsyncOperation();
  return data;
}
  • then() method — allows setting a handler for the Future result:
someAsyncOperation().then((data) {
  print(data);
}).catchError((error) {
  print('Error: $error');
});
  • Using catchError for error handling — you can chain error handlers separately.

  • Combining multiple Futures with Future.wait — for parallel execution:

Future.wait([future1, future2]).then((results) {
  // process results
});
  • Stream for sequential asynchronous events, if data arrives in parts.

Depending on the task, choose the appropriate method to work with Future.
