Promise.all()
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
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()
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.

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.
