[REMINDER-5] Promise.race()

Promise.race() runs as soon as one of the promises you pass to it resolves, and it runs the attached callback just once with the result of the first promise resolved.

example:

const promiseOne = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  setTimeout(resolve, 500, 'one')
})
const promiseTwo = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  setTimeout(resolve, 100, 'two')
})

Promise.race([promiseOne, promiseTwo]).then(result => {
  console.log(result) // 'two'
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

More important here is to know a use case. I don't have really use case for that.. But in case you want to execute a function as soons as possible or maybe if you are implementing a rendering and call an api at the same time. If the rendering fail at some point. The api call will stop too.

That's it for this reminder
