Understanding JavaScript Promises: Basics and Use Cases

Let's dive into a common concept in JavaScript called promises. ❓ What is a promise? A promise is an object that represents the eventful result of an asynchronous operation,either success or failure. Let's think of an non-technical example: 💡 Food order in a restaurant: You place an order ---> pending Food arrives ---> resolved(fulfiled) Order failes--->rejected 💡 Basic Promise example: 𝙘𝙀𝙣𝙚𝙩 𝙥𝙧𝙀𝙢𝙞𝙚𝙚 = 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙋𝙧𝙀𝙢𝙞𝙚𝙚((𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙀𝙡𝙫𝙚,𝙧𝙚𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩) =>  {  𝙘𝙀𝙣𝙚𝙩 𝙚𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙚𝙚 = 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙚;   𝙞𝙛(𝙚𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙚𝙚) {  𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙀𝙡𝙫𝙚("𝘿𝙖𝙩𝙖 𝙛𝙚𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙"); }  𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙚 { 𝙧𝙚𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩("𝙀𝙧𝙧𝙀𝙧 𝙀𝙘𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙙");  } }); 💡 In Modern way we can handle/resolve a promise is using async/await: 𝐚𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐜 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚() {  𝐭𝐫𝐲 {   𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭 = 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐊𝐢𝐬𝐞;  𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞.𝐥𝐚𝐠(𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭);  }  𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 (𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐫) {  𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞.𝐥𝐚𝐠(𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐫);   }  } ⏯ Use cases: 1)API calls 2) setTimeout/async tasks 3)parallel operations 4)file upload/download 5)database calls #reactjs  #reactinterview  #react18  #frontendjobs  #ReactJS  #Node  #Frontend  #InterviewPreparation  #JavaScript  #FullStack  #WebDevelopment  #SoftwareEngineer  #Learning  #Hiring  #Jobs  #FresherJobs  #TechTalks  #Software  #MERN #Frontend  #JavaScript  #React  #CodingInterview  #SoftwareEngineering  #WebDevelopment
