Study Notes
Chaining Promises
What is Chaining Promises?
- Chaining promises is a technique used to handle multiple asynchronous operations in a sequence.
- It allows for a more readable and manageable code structure.
How Chaining Promises Works
- A promise is returned from a function.
- The
then()method is used to attach a callback function to the promise. - The callback function returns another promise.
- The
then()method is used again to attach another callback function to the new promise. - This process continues, creating a chain of promises.
Benefits of Chaining Promises
- Improved code readability: Chaining promises makes the code more linear and easier to follow.
- Reduced nesting: Chaining eliminates the need for deeply nested callbacks.
- Easier error handling: Errors can be caught and handled at the end of the promise chain.
Example of Chaining Promises
promise1()
.then(result1 => {
// process result1
return promise2();
})
.then(result2 => {
// process result2
return promise3();
})
.then(result3 => {
// process result3
})
.catch(error => {
// handle error
});
Best Practices for Chaining Promises
- Keep the chain of promises linear and easy to follow.
- Avoid nesting promises unnecessarily.
- Use
catch()to handle errors at the end of the promise chain.
