try {! console.log(getLatestGrade(getStudent(name)));! }! catch (error) {! logError(error);! }! finally
{! logOut();! }! XMLHttpRequest

var handleError = function(error) {! logError(error);! logOut();! };! getStudent(name, function(error,
student) {! if (error) return handleError(error);! getLatestGrade(student, function(error, grade) {! if (error) return handleError(error);! console.log(grade);! logOut();! });! });!

Consuming Promises
Promise Prototype Methods
getJSON('/comments')! .then(onFulfilled, onRejected) Promise.prototype.then
getJSON('/comments')! .then(function(comments) {! if (comments) return 'Good'! else throw new
Error('Bad')! }, function(reason) {! // handle getJSON errors! }) Promise.prototype.then
getJSON('/comments')! .then(fulfillOne, rejectOne)! .then(fulfillTwo)! .then(null, rejectTwo) Promise.prototype.then
getJSON('/comments')! .then(fulfillOne, rejectOne)! .then(fulfillTwo)! .then(null, rejectTwo) Promise.prototype.then THROW
getJSON('/comments')! .then(fulfillOne, rejectOne)! .then(fulfillTwo)! .then(null, rejectTwo) Promise.prototype.then THROW
getJSON onFulfilled onRejected getJSON onFulfilled onRejected
getJSON('/comments') // waiting...! .then(extractFirstId)! .then(getCommentById) // waiting...! .then(showComment) Promise.prototype.then
var promise = getJSON('/comments');! somethingElse();! promise.then(onFulfilled, onRejected); Promise.prototype.then
getJSON('/comments')! .then(null, onRejected) Promise.prototype.catch
getJSON('/comments')! .catch(onRejected) Promise.prototype.catch
Promise Static Methods
Promise.cast('Hi you!')! .then(onFulfilled, onRejected) Promise.cast
Promise.cast(seededRandom(42))! .then(onFulfilled, onRejected) Promise.cast
Promise.cast($.ajax(config))! .then(onFulfilled, onRejected) Promise.cast
$.ajax(config)! .then(onFulfilled, onRejected)
$.ajax(config)! .then(onFulfilled, onRejected) Lies, all LIES!
Promise.cast($.ajax(config))! .then(onFulfilled, onRejected) Promise.cast
var promises = [ getJSON('/a'),! getJSON('/b'), getJSON('/c') ]! ! Promise.all(promises)!
.then(allFulfilled, firstRejected) Promise.all
var promises = [ getJSON('/a'),! 'Hi you!', 42, getJSON('/c') ]!
! Promise.all(promises)! .then(allFulfilled, firstRejected) Promise.all
var promises = [ saveTo(server1),! saveTo(server2), saveTo(server3) ]! ! Promise.race(promises)!
.then(firstFulfilled, firstRejected) Promise.race
Creating Promises
new Promise()
function() {! var name = prompt('Your name?')! if (!name)! throw
new Error('Rude user!')! else! return name! } new Promise()
new Promise(function(fulfill, reject) {! var name = prompt('Your name?')! if
(!name)! throw new Error('Rude user!')! else! return name! }) new Promise()
new Promise(function(fulfill, reject) {! var name = prompt('Your name?')! if
(!name)! reject(new Error('Rude user!'))! else! fulfill(name)! }) new Promise()
Shortcuts
new Promise(function(fulfill, reject) {! fulfill(something)! }) Promise.resolve()
new Promise(function(fulfill, reject) {! fulfill(something)! })! Promise.resolve(something) Promise.resolve()
new Promise(function(fulfill, reject) {! reject(something)! }) Promise.reject()
new Promise(function(fulfill, reject) {! reject(something)! })! Promise.reject(something) Promise.reject()
Advanced Techniques
this.get('name') // 'Kerrick'! ! getJSON('/comments')! .then(function(comments) {! this.get('name') // throws!
}) this and bind()
this.get('name') // 'Kerrick'! var self = this! getJSON('/comments')! .then(function(comments) {!
self.get('name') // 'Kerrick'! }) this and bind()
this.get('name') // 'Kerrick'! ! getJSON('/comments')! .then(function(comments) {! this.get('name') // 'Kerrick'!
}.bind(this)) this and bind()
getJSON('/comments')! .then(function(comments) {! throw new Error('Hello?')! }) Absorbed Rejections
getJSON('/comments')! .then(function(comments) {! throw new Error('Hello?')! })! .catch(console.error.bind(console)) Absorbed Rejections
getStudent(name) // <Promise>! .then(getLatestGrade)! .then(log)! .catch(logError)! .then(logOut) Promise-aware Functions
log(getLatestGrade(getStudent(name)))! .catch(logError)! .then(logOut) Promise-aware Functions
function getLatestGrade(promise) {! return Promise.cast(promise)! .then(function(value) {! // getLatestGrade Logic!
})! } Promise-aware Functions
