Common Patterns#
Best Practices#
Error Handling:
✓ Always handle rejections
✓ Use try/catch with async/await
✓ Provide meaningful error messages
✓ Consider error recovery strategies
Performance:
✓ Use Promise.all for parallel execution
✓ Avoid unnecessary sequential awaits
✓ Implement timeouts for network calls
✓ Consider request caching
Patterns:
✓ Use Promise.allSettled for mixed results
✓ Implement retry logic for flaky operations
✓ Use queues to limit concurrency
✓ Cancel unnecessary promises when possible
Conclusion#
Promises provide powerful abstractions for async code. Use Promise.all for parallel operations, implement proper error handling, and leverage async/await for cleaner syntax. Master patterns like retry, timeout, and queue for robust applications.
