promise

promise 

A promise is used to handle the asynchronous result of an operation. JavaScript is designed to not wait for an asynchronous block of code to completely execute before other synchronous parts of the code can run. For instance, when making API requests to servers, we have no idea if these servers are offline or online, or how long it takes to process the server request.
in the short term, we can say Promises are used to handle asynchronous Http requests.
Promise execution is asynchronous, which means that it's executed, but the program won't wait until it's finished to continue with the rest of the code.

Promises have three states:
fulfilled: Action related to the promise succeeded
rejected: Action related to the promise failed
pending: Promise is still pending i.e not fulfilled or rejected yet

Creating a Promise

The Promise object is created using the new keyword and contains the promise; this is an executor function which has a resolve and a reject callback. As the names imply, each of these callbacks returns a value with the reject callback returning an error object.

const promise = new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
  // write code....
})

Let’s create a promise:


var promise = new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
  const x = "promise";
  const y = "promise"
  if(x === y) {
    resolve();
  } else {
    reject();
  }
});
  
promise.
    then(function () {
        console.log('Success, this is promise');
    }).
    catch(function () {
        console.log('Some error has occured');
    });


Output:

Success, this is promise

Using Promises

Promises can be consumed by registering functions using .then and .catch methods.

  1. then()
    then() is invoked when a promise is either resolved or rejected.
    Parameters: 
    then() method takes two functions as parameters.
 .then(function(done) {
    // the content from the resolve() is here
  })
  .catch(function(error) {
    // the info from the reject() is here
  });

  1. First function is executed if promise is resolved and a result is received.
  2. Second function is executed if promise is rejected and an error is received. (It is optional and there is a better way to hanlde error using .catch() method

Chaining Promises

Sometimes we may need to execute two or more asynchronous operations based on the result of preceding promises. In this case, promises are chained. Still using our created promise, let’s order an uber if we are going on a date.

DOM(Document Object Model) and BOM(Browser Object Model)

DOM(Document Object Model) The DOM is the Document Object Model, which deals with the document, the HTML elements themselves, It organize the elements of the document in tree structure (DOM tree) and in the DOM tree, all elements of the document are defined as objects (tree nodes) which have properties and methods.When a web page is loaded, the browser creates a DOM tree for all the objects (Html elements) of that page. e.g. document and all traversal you would do in it, events, etc. A Simple DOM Tree BOM(Browser Object Model) The BOM is the Browser Object Model, which deals with browser components aside from the document,like history, location, navigator and screen (as well as some others that vary by browser). The Browser Object Model (BOM) in JavaScript includes the properties and methods for JavaScript to interact with the web browser. BOM provides you with window object, for example, to show the width and height of the window. It also includes the window.scre...

JavaScript type hoisting with variable function Expression

JavaScript type hoisting with variable function Expression Hoisting is JavaScript default behavior to moving declaration on the top. Variable can be used before its declaration. To understand this, first we need to understand of hoist meaning, hoist means “raise(something) by means of ropes & pulleys”. now we can relate hoisting with JavaScript. JavaScript interpreter moves all declaration on the top at runtime. It is best practice to declare all variable at the top of their respective scopes. , JavaScript is loosely syntax language so it will not throw any error at runtime if the variable used before its declaration. But JavaScript does not allow variable used before its declaration in “use strict” mode. Example 1 In this example, we can see in a normal scenario, when y has declared & then used. in this case, it will give output 10 as excepted. <p id= "demo" ></p> <script> var y; //Declare y y = 10 ; ...

AOT compilation

What is AOT compilation What are the advantages of AOT Every Angular application consists of components and templates which the browser cannot understand. Therefore, all the Angular applications need to be compiled first before running inside the browser.  Angular provides two types of compilation:  JIT(Just-in-Time) compilation AOT(Ahead-of-Time) compilation In JIT compilation, the application compiles inside the browser during runtime.  Whereas in the AOT compilation, the application compiles during the build time.  The advantages of using AOT compilation are:  Since the application compiles before running inside the browser, the browser loads the executable code and renders the application immediately, which leads to  faster rendering . In AOT compilation, the compiler sends the external HTML and CSS files along with the application, eliminating separate AJAX requests for those source files, which leads to  fewer ajax requests . Developers can detec...
