Tell us what’s happening:
i know for sure that javascript and NodeJS is a single threaded language; but how does promise work if it is a single threaded? my intuitive notions tells me that a notification such as a promise should be opened in an independent thread and when it receives the notification it notifies the main and closes that thread. so how does it work under the hood here?
Your code so far
const makeServerRequest = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
// responseFromServer is set to false to represent an unsuccessful response from a server
let responseFromServer = false;
if(responseFromServer) {
resolve("We got the data");
} else {
reject("Data not received");
}
});
makeServerRequest.then(result => {
console.log(result);
});
makeServerRequest.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
})
