New promise

A new promise!

A promise is a fundamental concept in JavaScript that allows you to handle asynchronous operations in a more manageable way. Here's a brief introduction:

What is a promise?

A promise is a result object that is used to handle asynchronous operations. It represents a value that may not be available yet, but will be resolved at some point in the future. A promise can be in one of three states:

Pending: The initial state, where the promise is waiting for the operation to complete.
Fulfilled: The operation has completed successfully, and the promise has a value.
Rejected: The operation has failed, and the promise has an error.

Why use promises?

Promises provide several benefits:

Asynchronous programming: Promises allow you to write asynchronous code that is easier to read and maintain.
Error handling: Promises provide a way to handle errors in a centralized manner, making it easier to debug and recover from errors.
Chainability: Promises can be chained together to perform multiple asynchronous operations in a sequence.

How to create a promise

You can create a promise using the Promise constructor:

const promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  // code that may take some time to complete
  setTimeout(() => {
    resolve("Hello, world!"); // fulfill the promise
  }, 2000);
});

In this example, we create a promise that resolves after 2 seconds with the value "Hello, world!".

How to use a promise

You can use a promise by attaching handlers to its then() method:

promise.then((value) => {
  console.log(value); // prints "Hello, world!"
});

In this example, we attach a handler to the then() method that logs the value of the promise to the console.

Common promise methods

Here are some common promise methods:

then(): Attaches a handler to the promise that will be called when the promise is fulfilled.
catch(): Attaches a handler to the promise that will be called when the promise is rejected.
finally(): Attaches a handler to the promise that will be called regardless of whether the promise is fulfilled or rejected.
resolve(): Resolves the promise with a value.
reject(): Rejects the promise with an error.

I hope this helps you get started with promises!
