Flashcards

Promise.all()

A promise that resolves once all the promises in the input array are resolved. The resolved values of all promises are returned in an array.

Promise.all() rejection

A promise that rejects immediately if any of the promises in the input array rejects, without waiting for the others to resolve.

Promise.allSettled()

A method that waits for all promises in the input array to settle (resolve or reject) and returns an array of objects containing the status and value/reason of each promise.

async keyword

A keyword used to declare a function that will return a promise.

await keyword

A way to handle promises and asynchronous operations within asynchronous functions. It allows you to pause the execution of a function until a promise resolves or rejects.

await syntax

The await keyword pauses the execution of an async function until the promise it is waiting for resolves or rejects.

async function

An asynchronous function that uses the await keyword to wait for the result of an asynchronous operation. It returns a resolved promise containing the result of the awaited operation.

then() method

A method that handles the resolved value of a promise. It is executed when the promise resolves successfully.

Asynchronous programming

In asynchronous programming, the program doesn't wait for a task to complete before moving on to the next. It allows the program to continue executing while waiting for a task to finish.

Call Stack and Callback Queue

The Call Stack is used to store the functions that are currently being executed. The Callback Queue holds functions waiting to be executed once the call stack is empty.

Web API and Event Loop

The Web API handles tasks like fetching data from the network or making DOM manipulations. It returns a result to the Callback Queue after completing the task.

Callback function

A callback function is passed as an argument to another function and is executed when the first function completes its task.

Callback hell

Callback hell is a term used to describe code with deeply nested callback functions. It makes code difficult to read and maintain.

Promise

A Promise is an object representing the eventual completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation, and allows you to handle the outcome.

Promise resolve()

The resolve function of a Promise is called when the asynchronous operation completes successfully. You can chain actions to be done after a successful result.

Promise reject()

The reject function of a Promise is called if the asynchronous operation encounters an error. It allows you to handle potential failures.

What is the map() method?

The map() method is used to iterate through each element in an array, apply a function to it, and create a new array containing the results. It does not modify the original array.

What is the filter() method?

The filter() method iterates through an array, applying a condition (a function). It returns a new array containing only the elements that satisfy the condition.

What is the reduce() method?

The reduce() method iterates through an array, applying a reducer function, which operates on the accumulator and the current element. It returns a single output value.

What are the parameters of the reduce() method's callback function?

The reduce() method requires a callback function that takes two parameters: the accumulator and the current element. The accumulator is initialized to the first element of the array.

What is asynchronous Javascript?

Asynchronous JavaScript allows code to execute outside of the sequential order it appears in. It means actions can happen simultaneously without blocking the execution flow.

What is the initial parameter in reduce() used for?

The reduce() method can be used with a specified initial value for the accumulator. If not provided, the first element of the array serves as the initial value.

What is the advantage of using asynchronous JavaScript?

Async JavaScript allows for non-blocking operations. This means the script can continue executing other tasks while waiting for asynchronous operations to complete.

Give examples of asynchronous operations in JavaScript.

Examples of asynchronous operations in JavaScript include network requests, file reading, and event handling. These operations may take time and shouldn't block the execution of other code.

Study Notes

Callback Functions

  • A callback function is a function passed as an argument to another function.
  • It's executed after the completion of some operations within the other function.
  • Callbacks allow code to respond to events or asynchronous tasks.

JavaScript Arrays

  • JavaScript arrays can store values of mixed types.

  • Array size is dynamic, meaning it can change in size.

  • Arrays can be created using the Array constructor or array literal notation.

  • Array literal notation: let arrayName = [element1, element2, element3, ...]

  • Accessing elements: arrayName[index]

  • Finding the number of elements: arrayName.length

Basic Array Operations

  • push(): Adds an element to the end of an array.
  • unshift(): Adds an element to the beginning of an array.
  • pop(): Removes and returns the element from the end of an array.
  • shift(): Removes and returns the element from the beginning of an array.

forEach() array method

  • Executes a provided function once for each array element.
  • The provided function takes the element, its index, and the array itself as parameters.

map() array method

  • Runs every item in an array through a function.
  • Returns a new array with values returned by the provided function.

filter() array method

  • Passes each item through a defined condition.
  • Returns a new array containing the items that satisfy the condition.

reduce() array method

  • Executes a reducer function on each element in an array.
  • Returns a single value.
  • The reducer function takes an accumulator and current value as arguments.

Asynchronous JavaScript

  • Asynchronous operations do not execute in the order they appear in code.
  • In async programming, the program doesn't wait for tasks to complete before proceeding.
  • Tasks are often handled through the "call stack", "callback queue", "WebAPI", and "event loop" within a browser.

Promises

  • Represent the eventual result of an asynchronous operation.
  • new Promise(function(resolve, reject)): Creates a promise object.
  • resolve(): Invoked when the operation is successful.
  • reject(): Invoked when an error occurs.
  • The then() method handles the result (or error) of a Promise.

Asynchronous / Callback Functions

  • Callbacks pass a function to another function, expecting it to call the callback at a precise time.
  • A potential issue is "Callback Hell" in situations with multiple nested callbacks.

Async/Await

  • Async/await simplifies asynchronous code by letting it flow sequentially.
  • async keyword for asynchronous functions.
  • Await keyword pauses execution until a Promise is resolved.

Promise.all()

  • Takes an array of Promises as input.
  • Resolves when all input promises have resolved.
  • Returns an array of resolved values.

Promise.allSettled()

  • Waits for all promises to settle (resolve or reject).
  • Returns an array with results for each promise, both fulfilled and rejected.
