The core idea is to encapsulate asynchronous operations into a Promise object and handle the results of the asynchronous operations through chained calls.<\/p>\n<p>There are three possible states for a Promise object: pending (in progress), fulfilled (successfully completed), and rejected (failed). Once a Promise object&#8217;s state changes to fulfilled or rejected, the corresponding callback function will be invoked.<\/p>\n<p>The basic usage of Promise objects is as follows:<\/p>\n<p>1. Create a Promise object:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code><span class=\"hljs-keyword\">const<\/span> promise = <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">new<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-title class_\">Promise<\/span>(<span class=\"hljs-function\">(<span class=\"hljs-params\">resolve, reject<\/span>) =&gt;<\/span> {\r\n    <span class=\"hljs-comment\">\/\/ \u5f02\u6b65\u64cd\u4f5c<\/span>\r\n    <span class=\"hljs-comment\">\/\/ \u5982\u679c\u64cd\u4f5c\u6210\u529f\uff0c\u8c03\u7528resolve\u65b9\u6cd5\u5e76\u4f20\u5165\u7ed3\u679c<\/span>\r\n    <span class=\"hljs-comment\">\/\/ \u5982\u679c\u64cd\u4f5c\u5931\u8d25\uff0c\u8c03\u7528reject\u65b9\u6cd5\u5e76\u4f20\u5165\u9519\u8bef\u4fe1\u606f<\/span>\r\n});\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>2. Handling the results of a Promise object:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code>promise\r\n    .<span class=\"hljs-title function_\">then<\/span>(<span class=\"hljs-function\"><span class=\"hljs-params\">result<\/span> =&gt;<\/span> {\r\n        <span class=\"hljs-comment\">\/\/ \u5904\u7406\u6210\u529f\u7684\u7ed3\u679c<\/span>\r\n    })\r\n    .<span class=\"hljs-title function_\">catch<\/span>(<span class=\"hljs-function\"><span class=\"hljs-params\">error<\/span> =&gt;<\/span> {\r\n        <span class=\"hljs-comment\">\/\/ \u5904\u7406\u5931\u8d25\u7684\u7ed3\u679c<\/span>\r\n    });\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>3. Other asynchronous operations can be nested within a Promise object.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code><span class=\"hljs-keyword\">const<\/span> promise = <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">new<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-title class_\">Promise<\/span>(<span class=\"hljs-function\">(<span class=\"hljs-params\">resolve, reject<\/span>) =&gt;<\/span> {\r\n    <span class=\"hljs-built_in\">setTimeout<\/span>(<span class=\"hljs-function\">() =&gt;<\/span> {\r\n        <span class=\"hljs-title function_\">resolve<\/span>(<span class=\"hljs-string\">'success'<\/span>);\r\n    }, <span class=\"hljs-number\">1000<\/span>);\r\n});\r\n\r\npromise\r\n    .<span class=\"hljs-title function_\">then<\/span>(<span class=\"hljs-function\"><span class=\"hljs-params\">result<\/span> =&gt;<\/span> {\r\n        <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">return<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">new<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-title class_\">Promise<\/span>(<span class=\"hljs-function\">(<span class=\"hljs-params\">resolve, reject<\/span>) =&gt;<\/span> {\r\n            <span class=\"hljs-built_in\">setTimeout<\/span>(<span class=\"hljs-function\">() =&gt;<\/span> {\r\n                <span class=\"hljs-title function_\">resolve<\/span>(result.<span class=\"hljs-title function_\">toUpperCase<\/span>());\r\n            }, <span class=\"hljs-number\">1000<\/span>);\r\n        });\r\n    })\r\n    .<span class=\"hljs-title function_\">then<\/span>(<span class=\"hljs-function\"><span class=\"hljs-params\">result<\/span> =&gt;<\/span> {\r\n        <span class=\"hljs-variable language_\">console<\/span>.<span class=\"hljs-title function_\">log<\/span>(result); <span class=\"hljs-comment\">\/\/ SUCCESS<\/span>\r\n    })\r\n    .<span class=\"hljs-title function_\">catch<\/span>(<span class=\"hljs-function\"><span class=\"hljs-params\">error<\/span> =&gt;<\/span> {\r\n        <span class=\"hljs-variable language_\">console<\/span>.<span class=\"hljs-title function_\">error<\/span>(error);\r\n    });\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Introduced in ES7, the async\/await keywords make it easier to work with Promises. By defining an asynchronous function with the async keyword, you can use the await keyword to wait for the result of asynchronous operations.<\/p>\n<p>Basic usage of async\/await:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code><span class=\"hljs-keyword\">async<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">function<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-title function_\">getData<\/span>(<span class=\"hljs-params\"><\/span>) {\r\n    <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">try<\/span> {\r\n        <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">const<\/span> result1 = <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">await<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-title function_\">asyncFunc1<\/span>();\r\n        <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">const<\/span> result2 = <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">await<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-title function_\">asyncFunc2<\/span>(result1);\r\n        <span class=\"hljs-variable language_\">console<\/span>.<span class=\"hljs-title function_\">log<\/span>(result2);\r\n    } <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">catch<\/span> (error) {\r\n        <span class=\"hljs-variable language_\">console<\/span>.<span class=\"hljs-title function_\">error<\/span>(error);\r\n    }\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Both asyncFunc1 and asyncFunc2 are asynchronous functions that return Promise objects.<\/p>\n<p>Using async\/await can make asynchronous code look more like synchronous code, improving readability. However, it&#8217;s important to note that await can only be used within async functions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Promise is a mechanism used to handle asynchronous operations and can be used to solve the problem of callback hell.
