UniTask

Provides an efficient async/await integration to Unity.

• Struct based UniTask<T> and custom AsyncMethodBuilder to achive zero allocation
• All Unity AsyncOperations and Coroutine to awaitable
• PlayerLoop based task(UniTask.Yield, UniTask.Delay, UniTask.DelayFrame, etc..) that enable to replace all coroutine operation
• MonoBehaviour Message Events and uGUI Events as awaitable/async-enumerable
• Completely run on Unity's PlayerLoop so don't use thread and run on WebGL, wasm, etc.
• Asynchronous LINQ, with Channel and AsyncReactiveProperty
• TaskTracker window to prevent memory leak
• Highly compatible behaviour with Task/ValueTask/IValueTaskSource

Basics of UniTask and AsyncOperation

UniTask feature rely on C# 7.0(task-like custom async method builder feature) so required Unity version is after Unity 2018.3, officialy lower support version is Unity 2018.4.13f1.

Why UniTask(custom task-like object) is required? Because Task is too heavy, not matched to Unity threading(single-thread). UniTask does not use thread and SynchronizationContext/ExecutionContext because almost Unity's asynchronous object is automaticaly dispatched by Unity's engine layer. It acquires more fast and more less allocation, completely integrated with Unity.

You can await AsyncOperation, ResourceRequest, AssetBundleRequest, AssetBundleCreateRequest, UnityWebRequestAsyncOperation, IEnumerator and others when using Cysharp.Threading.Tasks;.

UniTask provides three pattern of extension methods.

* await asyncOperation;
* .WithCancellation(CancellationToken);
* .ToUniTask(IProgress, PlayerLoopTiming, CancellationToken);

WithCancellation is a simple version of ToUniTask, both returns UniTask. Details of cancellation, see: Cancellation and Exception handling section.

The type of UniTask can use utility like UniTask.WhenAll, UniTask.WhenAny. It is like Task.WhenAll/WhenAny but return type is more useful, returns value tuple so can deconsrtuct each result and pass multiple type.

public class SceneAssets
{
    public SceneAssets()
    {
        // parallel load.
        var (a, b, c) = await UniTask.WhenAll(
            LoadAsSprite("foo"),
            LoadAsSprite("bar"),
            LoadAsSprite("baz"));
    }

    async UniTask<Sprite> LoadAsSprite(string path)
    {
        var resource = await Resources.LoadAsync<Sprite>(path);
        return (resource as Sprite);
    }
}

If you want to convert callback to UniTask, you can use UniTaskCompletionSource<T> that is the lightweight edition of TaskCompletionSource<T>.

public UniTask<int> WrapByUniTaskCompletionSource()
{
    var utcs = new UniTaskCompletionSource<int>();

    // when complete, call utcs.TrySetResult();
    // when failed, call utcs.TrySetException();
    // when cancel, call utcs.TrySetCanceled();

    return utcs.Task; //return UniTask<int>
}

You can convert Task -> UniTask: AsUniTask, UniTask -> UniTask<AsyncUnit>: AsAsyncUnitUniTask, UniTask<T> -> UniTask: AsUniTask. UniTask<T> -> UniTask's conversion cost is free.

If you want to convert async to coroutine, you can use .ToCoroutine(), this is useful to use only allow coroutine system.

UniTask can not await twice. This is a similar constraint to the ValueTask/IValueTaskSource introduced in .NET Standard 2.1.

The following operations should never be performed on a ValueTask instance:

• Awaiting the instance multiple times.
• Calling AsTask multiple times.
• Using .Result or .GetAwaiter().GetResult() when the operation hasn't yet completed, or using them multiple times.
• Using more than one of these techniques to consume the instance.

If you do any of the above, the results are undefined.

var task = UniTask.DelayFrame(10);
await task;
await task; // NG, throws Exception

Store to the class field, you can use UniTask.Lazy that gurantee call multipletimes. .Prevent() allows for multiple calls (internally cached results). This is useful when multiple calls in a function scope.

Cancellation and Exception handling

Some UniTask factory methods have CancellationToken cancellationToken = default parameter. Andalso some async operation for unity have WithCancellation(CancellationToken) and ToUniTask(..., CancellationToken cancellation = default) extension methods.

You can pass CancellationToken to parameter by standard CancellationTokenSource.

var cts = new CancellationTokenSource();

cancelButton.onClick.AddListener(() =>
{
    cts.Cancel();
});

await UnityWebRequest.Get("http://google.co.jp").SendWebRequest().WithCancellation(cts.Token);

await UniTask.DelayFrame(1000, cancellationToken: cts.Token);

CancellationToken can create by CancellationTokenSource or MonoBehaviour's extension method GetCancellationTokenOnDestroy.

// this CancellationToken lifecycle is same as GameObject.
await UniTask.DelayFrame(1000, cancellationToken: this.GetCancellationTokenOnDestroy());

When detect cancellation, all methods throws OperationCanceledException and propagate to upstream. OperationCanceledException is special exception, if not handled this exception, finally it is propagated to UniTaskScheduler.UnobservedTaskException.

Default behaviour of received unhandled exception is write log as exception. Log level can change by UniTaskScheduler.UnobservedExceptionWriteLogType. If you want to change custom beavhiour, set action to UniTaskScheduler.UnobservedTaskException.

If you want to cancel behaviour in async UniTask method, throws OperationCanceledException manually.

public async UniTask<int> FooAsync()
{
    await UniTask.Yield();
    throw new OperationCanceledException();
}

If you handle exception but want to ignore(propagete to global cancellation handling), use exception filter.

public async UniTask<int> BarAsync()
{
    try
    {
        var x = await FooAsync();
        return x * 2;
    }
    catch (Exception ex) when (!(ex is OperationCanceledException))
    {
        return -1;
    }
}

throws/catch OperationCanceledException is slightly heavy, if you want to care performance, use UniTask.SuppressCancellationThrow to avoid OperationCanceledException throw. It returns (bool IsCanceled, T Result) instead of throw.

var (isCanceled, _) = await UniTask.DelayFrame(10, cancellationToken: cts.Token).SuppressCancellationThrow();
if (isCanceled)
{
    // ...
}

Note: Only suppress throws if you call it directly into the most source method. Otherwise, the return value will be converted, but the entire pipeline will not be suppressed throws.

Progress

Some async operation for unity have ToUniTask(IProgress<float> progress = null, ...) extension methods.

var progress = Progress.Create<float>(x => Debug.Log(x));

var request = await UnityWebRequest.Get("http://google.co.jp")
    .SendWebRequest()
    .ToUniTask(progress: progress);

You should not use standard new System.Progress<T>, because it causes allocation every times. Use Cysharp.Threading.Tasks.Progress instead. This progress factory has two methods, Create and CreateOnlyValueChanged. CreateOnlyValueChanged calls only when progress value changed.

Implements IProgress interface to caller is more better, there is no allocation of lambda.

public class Foo : MonoBehaviour, IProgress<float>
{
    public void Report(float value)
    {
        UnityEngine.Debug.Log(value);
    }

    public async UniTaskVoid WebRequest()
    {
        var request = await UnityWebRequest.Get("http://google.co.jp")
            .SendWebRequest()
            .ToUniTask(progress: this); // pass this
    }
}

PlayerLoop

UniTask is run on custom PlayerLoop. UniTask's playerloop based method(such as Delay, DelayFrame, asyncOperation.ToUniTask, etc...) accepts this PlayerLoopTiming.

public enum PlayerLoopTiming
{
    Initialization = 0,
    LastInitialization = 1,

    EarlyUpdate = 2,
    LastEarlyUpdate = 3,

    FixedUpdate = 4,
    LastFixedUpdate = 5,

    PreUpdate = 6,
    LastPreUpdate = 7,

    Update = 8,
    LastUpdate = 9,

    PreLateUpdate = 10,
    LastPreLateUpdate = 11,

    PostLateUpdate = 12,
    LastPostLateUpdate = 13
}

It indicates when to run, you can check PlayerLoopList.md to Unity's default playerloop and injected UniTask's custom loop.

PlayerLoopTiming.Update is similar as yield return null in coroutine, but it is called before Update(Update is called on ScriptRunBehaviourUpdate, yield return null is called on ScriptRunDelayedDynamicFrameRate). If change timing to PlayerLoopTiming.LastUpdate, called after these Unity's update methods.

PlayerLoopTiming.FixedUpdate is similar as WaitForFixedUpdate, PlayerLoopTiming.LastPostLateUpdate is similar as WaitForEndOfFrame in coroutine.

In stacktrace, you can check where is running in playerloop.

In default, UniTask's PlayerLoop is initialized at [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.BeforeSceneLoad)].

The order in which methods are called in BeforeSceneLoad is indeterminate, so if you want to use UniTask in other BeforeSceneLoad methods, you should try to initialize it before this.

// AfterAssembliesLoaded is called before BeforeSceneLoad
[RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.AfterAssembliesLoaded)]
public static void InitUniTaskLoop()
{
    var loop = PlayerLoop.GetCurrentPlayerLoop();
    Cysharp.Threading.Tasks.PlayerLoopHelper.Initialize(ref loop);
}

If you import Unity's Entities package, that reset custom player loop to default at BeforeSceneLoad and inject ECS's loop. When Unity call ECS's inject method after UniTask's initialize method, UniTask will no longer work.

To solve this issue, you can re-initialize UniTask PlayerLoop after ECS initialized.

// Get ECS Loop.
var playerLoop = ScriptBehaviourUpdateOrder.CurrentPlayerLoop;

// Setup UniTask's PlayerLoop.
PlayerLoopHelper.Initialize(ref playerLoop);

async void vs async UniTaskVoid

async void is a standard C# taks system so does not run on UniTask systems. It is better not to use. async UniTaskVoid is a lightweight version of async UniTask because it does not have awaitable completion and report error immediately to UniTaskScheduler.UnobservedTaskException. If you don't require to await it(fire and forget), use UniTaskVoid is better. Unfortunately to dismiss warning, require to using with Forget().

public async UniTaskVoid FireAndForgetMethod()
{
    // do anything...
    await UniTask.Yield();
}

public void Caller()
{
    FireAndForgetMethod().Forget();
}

Also UniTask have Forget method, it is similar with UniTaskVoid and same effects with it. However still UniTaskVoid is more efficient if completely do not use await。

public async UniTask DoAsync()
{
    // do anything...
    await UniTask.Yield();
}

public void Caller()
{
    DoAsync().Forget();
}

Using async lambda in register event, it is used async void. To avoid it, you can use UniTask.Action or UniTask.UnityAction that creates delegate via async UniTaskVoid lambda.

Action actEvent;
UnityAction unityEvent; // especially used in uGUI

// Bad: async void
actEvent += async () => { };
unityEvent += async () => { };

// Ok: create Action delegate by lambda
actEvent += UniTask.Action(async () => { await UniTask.Yield(); });
unityEvent += UniTask.UnityAction(async () => { await UniTask.Yield(); });

UniTaskTracker

useful for check(leak) UniTasks. You can open tracker window in Window -> UniTask Tracker.

• Enable AutoReload(Toggle) - Reload automatically.
• Reload - Reload view.
• GC.Collect - Invoke GC.Collect.
• Enable Tracking(Toggle) - Start to track async/await UniTask. Performance impact: low.
• Enable StackTrace(Toggle) - Capture StackTrace when task is started. Performance impact: high.

For debug use, enable tracking and capture stacktrace is useful but it it decline performance. Recommended usage is enable both to find task leak, and when done, finally disable both.

External Assets

In default, UniTask supports DOTween and Addressables(AsyncOperationHandle and AsyncOpereationHandle<T> as awaitable).

For DOTween support, require to com.demigiant.dotween import from OpenUPM or define UNITASK_DOTWEEN_SUPPORT to enable it.

// sequential
await transform.DOMoveX(2, 10);
await transform.DOMoveZ(5, 20);

// parallel with cancellation
var ct = this.GetCancellationTokenOnDestroy();

await UniTask.WhenAll(
    transform.DOMoveX(10, 3).WithCancellation(ct),
    transform.DOScale(10, 3).WithCancellation(ct));

AsyncEnumerable and Async LINQ

Unity 2020.2.0a12 supports C# 8.0 so you can use await foreach. This is the new Update notation in async era.

// Unity 2020.2.0a12, C# 8.0
await foreach (var _ in UniTaskAsyncEnumerable.EveryUpdate(token))
{
    Debug.Log("Update() " + Time.frameCount);
}

In a C# 7.3 environment, you can use the ForEachAsync method to work in almost the same way.

// C# 7.3(Unity 2018.3~)
await UniTaskAsyncEnumerable.EveryUpdate(token).ForEachAsync(_ =>
{
    Debug.Log("Update() " + Time.frameCount);
});

UniTaskAsyncEnumerable implements asynchronous LINQ, similar to LINQ in IEnumerable<T> or Rx in IObservable<T>. All standard LINQ query operators can be applied to asynchronous streams. For example, the following code shows how to apply a Where filter to a button-click asynchronous stream that runs once every two clicks.

await okButton.OnClickAsAsyncEnumerable().Where((x, i) => i % 2 == 0).ForEachAsync(_ =>
{
});

Async LINQ is enabled when using Cysharp.Threading.Tasks.Linq;, and UniTaskAsyncEnumerable is defined in UniTask.Linq asmdef.

It's closer to UniRx (Reactive Extensions), but UniTaskAsyncEnumerable is a pull-based asynchronous stream, whereas Rx was a push-based asynchronous stream. Note that although similar, the characteristics are different and the details behave differently along with them.

UniTaskAsyncEnumerable is the entry point like Enumerbale. In addition to the standard query operators, there are other generators for Unity such as EveryUpdate, Timer, TimerFrame, Interval, IntervalFrame, and EveryValueChanged. And also added additional UniTask original query operators like Append, Prepend, DistinctUntilChanged, ToHashSet, Buffer, CombineLatest, Do, Never, ForEachAsync, Pairwise, Publish, Queue, Return, SkipUntilCanceled, TakeUntilCanceled, TakeLast.

The method with Func as an argument has three additional overloads, ***Await, ***AwaitWithCancellation.

Select(Func<T, TR> selector)
SelectAwait(Func<T, UniTask<TR>> selector)
SelectAwaitWithCancellation(Func<T, CancellationToken, UniTask<TR>> selector)

If you want to use the async method inside the func, use the ***Await or ***AwaitWithCancellation.

Awaitable Events

All uGUI component implements ***AsAsyncEnumerable to convert asynchronous streams of events.

async UniTask TripleClick()
{
    // In default, used button.GetCancellationTokenOnDestroy to manage lieftime of async
    await button.OnClickAsync();
    await button.OnClickAsync();
    await button.OnClickAsync();
    Debug.Log("Three times clicked");
}

// more efficient way
async UniTask TripleClick()
{
    using (var handler = button.GetAsyncClickEventHandler())
    {
        await handler.OnClickAsync();
        await handler.OnClickAsync();
        await handler.OnClickAsync();
        Debug.Log("Three times clicked");
    }
}

// use async LINQ
async UniTask TripleClick(CancellationToken token)
{
    await button.OnClickAsAsyncEnumerable().Take(3).Last();
    Debug.Log("Three times clicked");
}

// use async LINQ2
async UniTask TripleClick(CancellationToken token)
{
    await button.OnClickAsAsyncEnumerable().Take(3).ForEachAsync(_ =>
    {
        Debug.Log("Every clicked");
    });
    Debug.Log("Three times clicked, complete.");
}

All MonoBehaviour message events can convert async-streams by AsyncTriggers that can enable by using Cysharp.Threading.Tasks.Triggers;.

using Cysharp.Threading.Tasks.Triggers;

async UniTaskVoid MonitorCollision()
{
    await gameObject.OnCollisionEnterAsync();
    Debug.Log("Collision Enter");
    /* do anything */

    await gameObject.OnCollisionExitAsync();
    Debug.Log("Collision Exit");
}

Similar as uGUI event, AsyncTrigger can get by GetAsync***Trigger and trigger it self is UniTaskAsyncEnumerable.

// use await multiple times, get AsyncTriggerHandler is more efficient.
using(var trigger = this.GetOnCollisionEnterAsyncHandler())
{
    await OnCollisionEnterAsync();
    await OnCollisionEnterAsync();
    await OnCollisionEnterAsync();
}

// every moves.
await this.GetAsyncMoveTrigger().ForEachAsync(axisEventData =>
{
});

AsyncReactiveProperty, AsyncReadOnlyReactiveProperty is UniTask version of UniTask's ReactiveProperty.

BindTo extension method of IUniTaskAsyncEnumerable<T> for binding asynchronous stream values to Unity components(Text/Selectable/TMP/Text).

A pull-type asynchronous stream does not get the next values until the asynchronous processing in the sequence is complete. This could spill data from push-type events such as buttons.

// can not get click event during 3 seconds complete.
await button.OnClickAsAsyncEnumerable().ForEachAwaitAsync()
{
    await UniTask.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3));
}

It is useful(prevent double-click) but not useful in sometimes.

Using Queue() method, which will also queue events during asynchronous processing.

// queued message in asynchronous processing
await button.OnClickAsAsyncEnumerable().Queue().ForEachAwaitAsync()
{
    await UniTask.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3));
}

Channel

Channel is same as System.Threading.Tasks.Channels that is similar as GoLang Channel.

Currently only supports multiple-producer, single-consumer unbounded channel. It can create by Channel.CreateSingleConsumerUnbounded<T>().

For producer(.Writer), TryWrite to push value and TryComplete to complete channel. For consumer(.Reader), TryRead, WaitToReadAsync, ReadAsync, Completion and ReadAllAsync to read queued messages.

ReadAllAsync returns IUniTaskAsyncEnumerable<T> so query LINQ operators. Reader only allows single-consumer but use .Publish() query operator to enable multicast message. For example, make pub/sub utility.

public class AsyncMessageBroker<T> : IDisposable
{
    Channel<T> channel;

    IConnectableUniTaskAsyncEnumerable<T> multicastSource;
    IDisposable connection;

    public AsyncMessageBroker()
    {
        channel = Channel.CreateSingleConsumerUnbounded<T>();
        multicastSource = channel.Reader.ReadAllAsync().Publish();
        connection = multicastSource.Connect(); // Publish returns IConnectableUniTaskAsyncEnumerable.
    }

    public void Publish(T value)
    {
        channel.Writer.TryWrite(value);
    }

    public IUniTaskAsyncEnumerable<T> Subscribe()
    {
        return multicastSource;
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        channel.Writer.TryComplete();
        connection.Dispose();
    }
}

For Unit Testing

Unity's [UnityTest] attribute can test coroutine(IEnumerator) but can not test async. UniTask.ToCoroutine bridges async/await to coroutine so you can test async method.

[UnityTest]
public IEnumerator DelayIgnore() => UniTask.ToCoroutine(async () =>
{
    var time = Time.realtimeSinceStartup;

    Time.timeScale = 0.5f;
    try
    {
        await UniTask.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3), ignoreTimeScale: true);

        var elapsed = Time.realtimeSinceStartup - time;
        Assert.AreEqual(3, (int)Math.Round(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(elapsed).TotalSeconds, MidpointRounding.ToEven));
    }
    finally
    {
        Time.timeScale = 1.0f;
    }
});

UniTask itself's unit test is written by Unity Test Runner and Cysharp/RuntimeUnitTestToolkit to check on CI and IL2CPP working.

Pooling Configuration

UniTask is aggressively caching async promise object to achive zero allocation. In default, cache all promises but you can configure TaskPool.SetMaxPoolSize to your value, the value indicates cache size per type. TaskPool.GetCacheSizeInfo returns current cached object in pool.

foreach (var (type, size) in TaskPool.GetCacheSizeInfo())
{
    Debug.Log(type + ":" + size);
}

API References

UniTask's API References is hosted at cysharp.github.io/UniTask by DocFX and Cysharp/DocfXTemplate.

For example, UniTask's factory methods can see at UniTask#methods. UniTaskAsyncEnumerable's factory/extension methods can see at UniTaskAsyncEnumerable#methods.

UPM Package

Install via git URL

After Unity 2019.3.4f1, Unity 2020.1a21, that support path query parameter of git package. You can add https://github.com/Cysharp/UniTask.git?path=src/UniTask/Assets/Plugins/UniTask to Package Manager

or add "com.cysharp.unitask": "https://github.com/Cysharp/UniTask.git?path=src/UniTask/Assets/Plugins/UniTask" to Packages/manifest.json.

If you want to set a target version, UniTask is using *.*.* release tag so you can specify a version like #2.0.13. For example https://github.com/Cysharp/UniTask.git?path=src/UniTask/Assets/Plugins/UniTask#2.0.13.

Install via OpenUPM

The package is available on the openupm registry. It's recommended to install it via openupm-cli.

openupm add com.cysharp.unitask

.NET Core

For .NET Core, use NuGet.

PM> Install-Package UniTask

UniTask of .NET Core version is a subset of Unity UniTask, removed PlayerLoop dependent methods.

It runs at higher performance than the standard Task/ValueTask, but you should be careful to ignore the ExecutionContext/SynchronizationContext when using it. AysncLocal also does not work because it ignores ExecutionContext.

If you use UniTask internally, but provide ValueTask as an external API, you can write like the following(Inspired by PooledAwait).

public class ZeroAllocAsyncAwaitInDotNetCore
{
    public ValueTask<int> DoAsync(int x, int y)
    {
        return Core(this, x, y);

        static async UniTask<int> Core(ZeroAllocAsyncAwaitInDotNetCore self, int x, int y)
        {
            // do anything...
            await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(x + y));
            await UniTask.Yield();

            return 10;
        }
    }
}

.NET Core version is intended to allow users to use UniTask as an interface when sharing code with Unity (such as Cysharp/MagicOnion). .NET Core version of UniTask enables smooth code sharing.

Utility methods such as WhenAll which is equivalent to UniTask are provided as Cysharp/ValueTaskSupplement.
