promises

Promises are used to deal with event handling and callbacks in asynchronous programming in JavaScript, such as clicks and key presses. Promises allow developers to specify a function to execute at some later point in response to certain events. Promises may also indicate whether a certain code succeeded or failed in performing its assigned job.

In this course, you will learn how to chain different promises, which makes the code easier to understand and debug. Next, you’ll learn built-in methods to monitor and respond to multiple promises executing in parallel. Then, you will cover async functions and await expressions that are often used with promises. Finally, you’ll learn how to track promises when they are rejected without a rejection handler.

Promises are important to understand and debug the code in asynchronous programming. The concepts of JS promises help developers working with Node.js and Deno for event handling and with asynchronous JavaScript APIs.

JavaScript Promises

## Summary
A promise is a placeholder for a value that may be provided later as the result of some asynchronous operation. Instead of assigning an event handler or passing a callback into a function, we can use a promise to represent the result of an operation.



Promises have three states: pending, fulfilled, and rejected. A promise starts in a pending (unsettled) state and becomes fulfilled on a successful execution or rejected on a failure (fulfillment and rejection are settled states). In either case, handlers can be added to indicate when a promise is settled.
