create new promise in js code example

Example 1: js create a promise

/*
	A Promise is a proxy for a value not necessarily known when the promise is created. 
    It allows you to associate handlers with an asynchronous action's eventual success 
    value or failure reason.
*/            
let promise = new Promise((resolve , reject) => {
  fetch("https://myAPI")
    .then((res) => {
      // successfully got data
      resolve(res);
    })
    .catch((err) => {
      // an error occured
      reject(err);
    });          
});

Example 2: javascript create promise

// base case
const promise = new Promise(executor);

// more complex example
const coinflip = (bet) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  const hasWon = Math.random() > 0.5 ? true : false;
  if (hasWon) {
    setTimeout(() => {
      resolve(bet * 2);
    }, 2000);
  } else {
    reject(new Error("You lost...")); // same as -> throw new Error ("You lost ...");
  }
});
