You don't know Promises
I am Ivan Jovanovic Senior Software Engineer, Tech Speaker You
can find me at @ivanjov96 or https://ivanjov.com Hello! IJ Consulting
Why I don't know Promises?
None
None
I am here today To show you how Promises really
work!
JavaScript is strange because ‒ It was built for 10
days ‒ It has one thread ‒ It is synchronous and asynchronous ‒ It is everywhere ‒ It is different
Only one thread And the event loop
None
How do we handle async code? Promises Callbacks Async/await
Callbacks Where everything began... 1
“ A callback is a function that is passed as
an argument and will be executed after another function has finished executing.
None
None
Promises Changed everything 2
“ The Promise object represents the eventual completion (or failure)
of an asynchronous operation, and its resulting value.
None
None
How Promises really work? The answer is a Microtask queue!
None
Microtask queue ‒ Independent queue ‒ Used by: process.nextTick, Promises,
Object.observe, MutationObserver ‒ Faster than the main queue and may be drained several times in a single event loop tick
None
Next TICK ONE Next TICK TWO TIMEOUT AFTER-ONE TIMEOUT AFTER-TWO
Promise methods ‒ Promise.all(iterable) ‒ Promise.race(iterable) ‒ Promise.resolve(value) ‒ Promise.reject(reason)
Promise.all(iterable)
Rejected situation
Promise.race(iterable)
Promisify non-Promise code
Native Promises from libraries
Async/await Comes to the rescue 3
“ Async/Await is a special syntax for working with Promises.
None
Most common problems with Promises that we see every day!

Conclusion ‒ JS is crazy and great at the same
time! ‒ Async behavior is a pro, not a con. ‒ Be careful when using Promises, it's great and dangerous at the same time!
