A sample promise with map

sample-promise-in-map.js

// A simple promise that resolves after a given time
const timeOut = (t) => {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      resolve(`Completed in ${t}`)
    }, t)
  })
}

const durations = [1000, 2000, 3000]

const promises = []

durations.map((duration) => {
  // In the below line, two things happen.
  // 1. We are calling the async function (timeout()). So at this point the async function has started and enters the 'pending' state.
  // 2. We are pushing the pending promise to an array.
  promises.push(timeOut(duration)) 
})

console.log(promises) // [ Promise { "pending" }, Promise { "pending" }, Promise { "pending" } ]

// We are passing an array of pending promises to Promise.all
// Promise.all will wait till all the promises get resolves and then the same gets resolved.
Promise.all(promises)
.then(response => console.log(response)) // ["Completed in 1000", "Completed in 2000", "Completed in 3000"]
