How to use the props function from bluebird

bluebird.props is a function in the Bluebird library that converts an object containing promises into a promise that resolves to an object containing the resolved values of those promises.

How does bluebird.props work?

bluebird.props works by taking an object containing promises as input and returning a new promise that resolves to an object containing the resolved values of those promises.

The function iterates over the input object and waits for all the promises to settle. Once all the promises have settled, bluebird.props resolves the new promise with an object that has the same keys as the input object, but with their values replaced by the resolved values of the corresponding promises.

If any of the input promises are rejected, the new promise returned by bluebird.props is immediately rejected with the reason of the first rejected promise.

bluebird.props can be useful when working with a set of promises that need to be resolved before further processing can take place, such as when waiting for data from multiple asynchronous sources.

By using bluebird.props, we can efficiently wait for all the promises to settle and retrieve their resolved values in a single object, rather than individually awaiting each promise and collecting its resolved value.

const Promise = require("bluebird");

const promises = {
  name: Promise.resolve("Alice"),
  age: Promise.resolve(25),
  address: Promise.resolve("123 Main St."),
};

const promiseOfProps = Promise.props(promises);

promiseOfProps.then((result) => {
  console.log(result);
});

In this example, we use bluebird.props to convert an object containing promises into a promise that resolves to an object containing the resolved values of those promises. We define an object promises that contains three promises, each resolving to a different value. We then pass the promises object to Promise.props to create a new promise that resolves to an object containing the resolved values of the input promises. We attach a then callback to the new promise that logs the resulting object to the console. By using bluebird.props in this way, we can efficiently wait for all the input promises to settle and retrieve their resolved values in a single object.
