Understanding JavaScript Promises

Introduction

JavaScript Promises are a powerful way to handle asynchronous operations, allowing you to write cleaner and more manageable code. In this post, we'll dive deep into Promises and explore how they can improve your code.

Understanding Promises
A Promise in JavaScript represents the eventual completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation and its resulting value.

How you can create Promises
You can create a new Promise using the Promise constructor, which takes a function with two parameters: resolve and reject.

Promise Methods
Promises have several methods to handle the result of the asynchronous operation.

.then()
The .then() method is used to handle the resolved value.

.catch()
The .catch() method is used to handle errors or rejected promises.
Image description

.finally()
The .finally() method is executed regardless of the promise's outcome.

Promises Chaining
Promises can be chained to perform multiple asynchronous operations in sequence.
