takes an array of promises and resolves as soon as all of them resolve individually.
When all promises resolve you then
do something...
const promise1 = Promise.resolve(3);
const promise2 = 42;
const promise3 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(resolve, 100, 'foo');
});
Promise.all([promise1, promise2, promise3]).then((values) => {
console.log(values);
});
// expected output: Array [3, 42, "foo"]
When one
promise rejects then Promise.all doesn't resolve.
const promise1 = Promise.resolve(3);
const promise2 = 42;
const promise3 = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(reject, 100, 'foo');
});
Promise.all([promise1, promise2, promise3]).then((values) => {
console.log(values);
}).catch(function(err) {
console.log('Error'); // some coding error in handling happened
});
// expected output: 'Error'

6,414 PointsI am having a problem with Promise all because the wiki api is not finding one of the astronauts. How can I handle this?

8,026 PointsI'm having the same issue. It makes sense why it doesn't work, because the Promises.all seems to return only one resolve or reject for the whole array, and because one astronaut doesn't have a wiki page it returns a 404 and it rejects the whole array... there has to be a different way to create an array to iterate over to generate the HTML for the astronauts with a wiki page and then skip the one without a wiki. But I'm not comfortable enough with whats going on to be able to restructure it myself yet unfortunately. Some help would be much appreciated for sure.
