01 / Foundation

Understand the concept

A Promise represents the eventual completion or failure of an asynchronous operation.

Promises provide a cleaner and more maintainable way to handle asynchronous code compared to nested callbacks.

02 / Implementation

Creating a Promise

promise.js
const fetchData = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  const success = true;

  if (success) {
    resolve("Data received");
  } else {
    reject("Something went wrong");
  }
});

fetchData
  .then((data) => console.log(data))
  .catch((error) => console.log(error));
