Great post and explanation! I personally have dreaded not having an alternative to Promise.allSettled() as it has required me to rewrite much of my applications to still work with Promise.all(). It usually happens anytime there's a need to gather finalized data AFTER running async methods from an array.

Thank you, vulpz 😃

rewrite much of my applications to still work with Promise.all()

How did you get around the issue of current short-circuit behavior of .all()? (write a custom .allSettled or used many try/catch blocks? Those are only two I can think of 🤔)

Possibly bad form, but I went the route of "misusing" resolve and reject. If there was a bad case that had issues, yet needed to be caught by Promise.all(), I returned an object that used the try/catch but searched for a specific flag.

Not the most efficient, but it worked and was easier to implement than rewriting the majority of the project!
