How to wait for 2 or more promises to resolve in JavaScript

New Course Coming Soon:

Get Really Good at Git

Say you need to fire up 2 or more promises and wait for their result. How to do that?

Say you need to fire up 2 or more promises and wait for their result.

And you want to go on, once you have both resolved.

How can you do so, in JavaScript?

You use Promise.all():

const promise1 = //...
const promise2 = //...

const data = await Promise.all([promise1, promise2])

const dataFromPromise1 = data[0]
const dataFromPromise2 = data[1]

If you prefer using pure promises and not async/await, use this syntax:

const promise1 = //...
const promise2 = //...

Promise.all([promise1, promise2]).then(data => {
	const dataFromPromise1 = data[0]
	const dataFromPromise2 = data[1]
})
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to you all the time? Git is something we all need to use, but few of us really master it. I created this course to improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with Git. Launching May 21, 2024. Join the waiting list!
