How to use the Promise function from es6-promise

es6-promise.Promise is a JavaScript library that provides a way to manage asynchronous operations and handle their outcomes in a browser or a Node.js environment.

How does es6-promise.Promise work?

es6-promise.Promise works by creating a promise object that represents the eventual outcome of an asynchronous operation, which can be either resolved with a value or rejected with an error, and allows you to chain multiple operations on it through its methods like .then(), .catch(), and .finally().

These methods let you attach callbacks that will be executed when the promise is either resolved or rejected, allowing you to handle the outcome of the asynchronous operation and pass its result to the next operation in the chain.

Additionally, es6-promise.Promise provides a variety of utility methods to help manage complex asynchronous workflows, such as Promise.all(), Promise.race(), Promise.resolve(), and Promise.reject().

The library conforms to the Promises/A+ specification and is compatible with modern browsers and Node.js environments.

const Promise = require("es6-promise").Promise;

function delay(ms) {
  return new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

function getUserData(userId) {
  return delay(1000).then(() => {
    if (userId === 1) {
      return { id: 1, name: "John Doe", email: "john.doe@example.com" };
    } else {
      throw new Error("User not found");
    }
  });
}

getUserData(1)
  .then((user) => console.log(`User data: ${JSON.stringify(user)}`))
  .catch((error) => console.error(`Error: ${error.message}`));

In this example, we define a delay function that returns a promise that resolves after a given number of milliseconds. We then define a getUserData function that also returns a promise that resolves after a 1-second delay. Inside the getUserData function, we use a conditional statement to either return a user object with some data or throw an error if the user is not found. Finally, we call the getUserData function with an argument of 1, which should resolve successfully, and then chain a .then() method to log the user data to the console. If an error occurs, the .catch() method will handle it by logging the error message to the console.
