Outline

The Promise Toolbox

These exercises are all about learning the mechanisms that we can use to create, transform, and combine promises.

• npm run 01-making-promises - Create promises with Promise.resolve, Promise.reject, and the Promise constructor.
• npm run 02-consuming-promises - Use .then(cb) and .catch(cb) to respond to a promise completing and do something with the result.
• npm run 03-transforming-promises - Use .then(cb) and .catch(cb) to transform the results of async processes.
• npm run 04-chaining-promises - Use .then(cb) and .catch(cb) to chain async processes.

Promise Puzzles

Now it's time to use the tricks from above to solve some problems.

• npm run 05-callbacks - Turn callback-centric functions into promise-centric functions.
