Promises

Part of the Frontend Developer Roadmap.

Summary

An object representing the eventual result (or failure) of an asynchronous operation — the modern foundation for handling async code cleanly instead of nested callbacks. Promise composition makes asynchronous workflows easier to coordinate, including parallel operations, sequential dependencies, cancellation patterns, and error propagation.

How to Learn This

  • 1Wrap a `setTimeout` in a Promise and consume it with `.then()`/`.catch()`. Validate your understanding by applying it in a small practical example.
  • 2Practice `Promise.all()` to run multiple async operations in parallel. Test it with at least one normal case and one edge case so you can explain the behavior confidently.
  • 3Learn the three states of a Promise: pending, fulfilled, rejected.
