Promise.race()

Promise.race() resolves whenever one of the promises resolves. If there are multiple promises, the first promise that gets resolved will be returned.

const promise1 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  setTimeout(() => { resolve('one'); }, 500);
});

const promise2 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  resolve('two');
});

Promise.race([promise1, promise2]).then((value) => {
  console.log(value);
  // Both resolve, but promise2 is faster
});
// expected output: "two"

If an empty array is passed, it'll be in forever pending state.

Promise.any() has a similar behavior. But unlike .any(), .race() will return the first fulfilled or rejected promise value. .any() returns fulfilled values only.
