What are Promises?
Understanding Asynchronous Communication in Code
Overview of Code Functions
- The code contains various functions that are invoked, which users will learn over time through documentation and practice.
- Emphasizes the asynchronous nature of communication with the browser, ensuring that each step is completed before proceeding to the next.
Promises in JavaScript
- Discusses the concept of promises, highlighting that there is no guarantee a value will be returned due to potential issues like a browser process failing.
- All methods used operate on promises; if a promise resolves successfully, the corresponding function executes with the returned value.
Handling Promise Failures
- If a promised value does not arrive, certain methods can be associated with handling failures using
.catch(), allowing for error management within asynchronous operations.
Logical Operations with Promises
- Introduces an auxiliary function
pAndthat mimics logical AND but operates on two promises. It executes based on whether both promises resolve successfully.
