Spawning Futures
The use_future and use_coroutine hooks are useful if you want to unconditionally spawn the future. Sometimes, though, you'll want to only spawn a future in response to an event, such as a mouse click. For example, suppose you need to send a request when the user clicks a "log in" button. For this, you can use cx.spawn:
let response = use_state(cx, || String::from("..."));

let log_in = move |_| {
    cx.spawn({
        to_owned![response];

        async move {
            let resp = reqwest::Client::new()
                .get("https://dioxuslabs.com")
                .send()
                .await;

            match resp {
                Ok(_data) => {
                    log::info!("dioxuslabs.com responded!");
                    response.set("dioxuslabs.com responded!".into());
                }
                Err(err) => {
                    log::info!(
                        "Request failed with error: {err:?}"
                    )
                }
            }
        }
    });
};

render! {
    button {
        onclick: log_in,
        "Response: {response}",
    }
}



Note: spawn will always spawn a new future. You most likely don't want to call it on every render.
Calling spawn will give you a JoinHandle which lets you cancel or pause the future.
Spawning Tokio Tasks
Sometimes, you might want to spawn a background task that needs multiple threads or talk to hardware that might block your app code. In these cases, we can directly spawn a Tokio task from our future. For Dioxus-Desktop, your task will be spawned onto Tokio's Multithreaded runtime:
cx.spawn(async {
    let _ = tokio::spawn(async {}).await;

    let _ = tokio::task::spawn_local(async {
        // some !Send work
    })
    .await;
});
