Implementing Promise.all & Promise.allSettled from Scratch

🚀 Implemented Promise.all & Promise.allSettled from Scratch (Polyfills) Recently, I deep-dived into JavaScript internals and implemented custom polyfills for: ✅ Promise.all ✅ Promise.allSettled Why? Because understanding how these combinators work internally separates surface-level JS knowledge from real engine-level understanding. 🔥 Key Learnings 🔹 1. Order Preservation is Critical Even if promises resolve at different times, results must match the input order. Using valueArray[index] = result ensures correct alignment. 🔹 2. Immediate Rejection in Promise.all If any promise rejects: The entire Promise.all should reject immediately. Remaining promises still execute, but the outer promise is already settled. 🔹 3. Promise.allSettled Never Rejects Unlike Promise.all, allSettled: Waits for all promises Returns structured results: { status: "fulfilled", value } { status: "rejected", reason } 🔹 4. Handling Edge Cases Empty array → resolve immediately Mixed resolved + rejected promises Maintaining parallel execution Avoiding race condition issues 💡 Why This Matters This isn’t just about writing code that works. It’s about: Understanding async control flow Mastering the event loop mental model Writing spec-accurate implementations Thinking like a JavaScript engine These are exactly the kind of deeper JavaScript concepts discussed in high-level frontend interviews at strong product companies. 🧠 Takeaway If you can implement: Promise.all Promise.allSettled Correctly handling: Order Early rejection Edge cases Status formatting You’re no longer just using JavaScript. You’re understanding how it works under the hood. #JavaScript #FrontendDevelopment #AsyncJavaScript #Promises #WebDevelopment #InterviewPrep #SoftwareEngineering
