All About promise.all()

In JavaScript, Promise.all() is a method that takes an array of promises and returns a new promise that is fulfilled with an array of the fulfilled values of the input promises, in the same order as the input promises.

Here's an example of how Promise.all() can be used:

Copy codeconst promise1 = Promise.resolve(3);
const promise2 = 42;
const promise3 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  setTimeout(resolve, 100, 'foo');
});

Promise.all([promise1, promise2, promise3]).then((values) => {
  console.log(values);
});

In this example, promise1, promise2, and promise3 are all passed as an array to Promise.all(). The returned promise is fulfilled with an array of the fulfilled values of these promises, in the same order they were passed in. In this case, the output will be [3, 42, 'foo'].

It's important to note that if any of the input promises are rejected, the returned promise will be rejected as well, and the rejection reason will be the first rejected reason.

Copy codeconst promise1 = Promise.resolve(3);
const promise2 = 42;
const promise3 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  setTimeout(reject, 100, 'Error');
});

Promise.all([promise1, promise2, promise3]).then((values) => {
  console.log(values);
}).catch(error => {
  console.log(error);
});

In this example, the first two promises are fulfilled but the third promise is rejected with the reason 'Error'. The returned promise will be rejected with the reason 'Error' and the catch block will be executed.

Promise.all() can be useful in situations where you need to wait for multiple asynchronous actions to complete before moving on to the next step in your code. It's a powerful tool for managing and handling multiple promises in a more efficient and organized way.

Some common use cases of Promise.all() include:

1. We are waiting for multiple API calls to complete before rendering a component or updating the state of a React or Angular app.

2. Handling multiple file uploads or network requests in parallel to improve performance.

3. Waiting for multiple asynchronous tasks to complete before moving on to the next step in a process.

4. Combining multiple Promises into a single Promise makes them easier to handle and chain together with other operations.

5. Synchronizing multiple async function calls.

Note that if any of the input Promises are rejected, the returned Promise is rejected with the value of the first rejected input Promise.
