javascript ensuring all promises are resolved code example

Example 1: javascript promise

var promise = new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
  // do some long running async thing…
  
  if (/* everything turned out fine */) {
    resolve("Stuff worked!");
  }
  else {
    reject(Error("It broke"));
  }
});

//usage
promise.then(
  function(result) { /* handle a successful result */ },
  function(error) { /* handle an error */ }
);

Example 2: resolve vs return promise js

In simple terms, inside a then handler function:

A) When x is a value (number, string, etc):
	- return x is equivalent to return Promise.resolve(x)
	- throw x is equivalent to return Promise.reject(x)

B) When x is a Promise that is already settled (not 
pending anymore):
	- return x is equivalent to return Promise.resolve(x), 
      if the Promise was already resolved.
	- return x is equivalent to return Promise.reject(x), 
      if the Promise was already rejected.
      
C) When x is a Promise that is pending:
	- return x will return a pending Promise, and it will 
    be evaluated on the subsequent then.
