Promise is a proxy value for an asynchronous action leading upto success or a failure. Using Promise is necessary to avoid the callback hell
A pending promise can either be fulfilled with a value, or rejected with a reason (error). When either of these options happens, the associated handlers queued up by a promise's then method are called.
A Promise can be in one of the following states
then()
clause of
promise will be called.
catch()
clause of promise will be
called.
Promise.prototype.catch()
will handle the errors thrown by the asynchronous flow execution of the Promise where as catch()
of
try-catch
will catch the errors triggered by the synchronous flow
You can also resolve function statically like Promise.resolve()
-
Promise.reject()
instead of calling the constructor new Promise((resolve, reject) =>
{});
Unlike callbacks, A promise will be executed as soon as it is encountered.
Async
& Await
is an ECMAScript
2017 standard
An async
function is a function which is operated asynchronously via event loop returning an AsyncFunction object. It
uses promises to return its result.
await
is to get the resultant from the promised function.
Remember, the await keyword is only valid inside async functions. If you use it outside of an async function's body, you will get a SyntaxError.
We shouldn't make it sequentially,
For instance,
You can clearly see that, parallel()
is twice as fast as
series()
is because it is not sequential.
