Great article. In addition to this, you can also run multiple promises and only continue once they are all complete using Promise.all. This is great way to, e.g. fetch data using two different requests, and then combine them once both requests complete.

Thank you for reading my article and your valuable feedback. As per your suggestion, I have updated this article by adding a new section "Multiple Promises in Parallel".

A great addition - I've only ever had to use all and occasionally any, so didn't know about race and allSettled until reading it - thanks!

Excellent post! A lot of this translates into helpful insight when writing async/await functions, which are themselves based on promises!

This is a great blog. I really loved the way promises has been explained with in-depth knowledge. More over the solution of the probelms mentioned made it even better. Keep up the good work.

It maybe just my interpretation of your words, but I could not see the difference between Promise.any() and Promise.race() from the above explanations.

Hello @anthonycroft
Sorry for the confusions. I will take care of it moving forward.

Let me clear it for you..

Promise.race is settled when any of the promises is settled even if they are fulfilled or rejected.
On the otherside,
Promise.any is settled when any of the promises is fulfilled or if all of them are rejected, it will be rejected with an AggregateError.
