Asynchronous Processing

Promise

English

Overview

An object that lets you handle the eventual result of an asynchronous operation.

Details

An object representing the eventual success or failure state of an asynchronous operation. You can chain handling for the result with 'then' or 'catch'. It exists in one of three states -- pending, fulfilled, or rejected -- and once it settles into fulfilled or rejected, that state is immutable and never changes again.
