JavaScript promises helps us to handle asynchronous operations more efficiently by assigning the handler with the success value or failure reason.

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.

## Establishing a timeout for an operation
While the `fetch()` function has a lot of helpful functionalities, one thing it doesn’t do is manage a timeout for a given request; a request will happily hang until it completes one way or another. We can easily create a wrapper method to add a timeout to any request by using `Promise.race()`:
