Discussion on "JavaScript Promises - Explain Like I'm Five"

Hello friends 👋, welcome to the first article of my brand new series, Demystifying JavaScript Promises - A New Way to Learn. JavaScript promises are very special. As web developers, we hardly have a way to avoid learning about it. Believe me, if not...

good explanation sir...

Amazing article of a tough subject. Thank you.

Would you mind discussing the resolve and reject callbacks in the executor function? I am having a tough time figuring out exactly what these methods do. Many examples just pass a string into them and it makes them feel like a glorified console.log() function.

Could you explain what is going on under the hood? It would be greatly appreciated. Either way, thank you for the article.

Thanks a lot, Andrew.

Could you please check this one? I have explain it in a greater details here:

This is superb! JavaScript Promise has never been this clear.. I felt like I was really five 😅 I love the analogy you used man.. Looking forward to the next article 👍

Sure man. Thank you very much. Glad, you found it helpful.

Wow Tapas Adhikary! I love this one 😍😍 Your examples are awesome 👏👏

I have expressed how much I loved this article on Twitter but I'll do it again here! Well done! A very creative and original article that the one and only Tapas can write!!

Thank you 🤩. No words...

wow Tapas Adhikary, this is the best explanation I have come across on JS promise ever.

Looking forward to more of this sir.

Keep setting the pace.

Thank you very much. Surely.. The next one is on it's way 🚀

Amazing article Tapas Adhikary. This is probably the easiest way someone has explained promises.

Yay, thank you Apoorv. Please feel free to share it in your circle. Someone may find it useful 😀.

I have a question. Do I need to use async/await?

Nyareh David, it is a great question.

The short answer is: Yes. The async/await syntax is dramatically easier than a long chain with promise. If it is in your hands, with async/await, you may seldom use the .then(), .cacth() methods.

But, we need to keep in mind that they are based on JavaScript promises. There are also great use cases of them working together. Promise.all() is a classic example. Lastly, take my interview warning at the beginning of this article.

Longer answer: I am preparing the content around it. Especially the usages of each and both together. You will find them published on my blog as part of this series and Youtube Channel in a few weeks. Stay Tuned.

Have a great day!

Loved the explanation! ❤️Bookmarked the post. I'll come back to it whenever I need a refresher.

Special work done here.. 👏👏

Thank you very much for recognizing it. Much appreciate 🤩.

Great explanation of Promises Tapas Adhikary.❤️

Thank you, Yogesh 🙂🙂

This is a gem 💎, I'm impressed by the quality of this article. How well are you explaining, I have a lot to learn from you bro. Its super awesome you connect real life stories with the JavaScript concepts and gave a very meaningful output. The table where you distinguish both also became useful.

Wow, Appreciate your hard-work behind this masterpiece Tapas Adhikary. Can't wait for the more awesome articles in this series 🙌

Thanks a lot, Savio. Means a lot. I'm surely going to work hard on the rest of the series to make it easygoing 😀
