If you're already familiar with the workings of Promise.resolve, then I'll focus on explaining the aspect related to 'foo'.
But why not just cover everything while we're at it?
Promise.resolve
creates a promise that resolves immediately with the provided value.
For example, consider this code snippet:
Promise.resolve(2 * 2)
.then(function(value) {
console.log('Value received is ', value);
});
You would promptly see a message in the console saying Value received is 4
foo(req, res, next)
The function foo
utilizes the three callback functions: req
, res
, and next
Here's what happens:
Promise.resolve(foo(req, res, next)).catch(function(err) { next(err) })
If we rewrite it without arrow functions:
Promise.resolve(foo(req, res, next))
.catch(function(err) {
return next(err)
});
This process involves taking the 'result' from the function call
foo(req, res, next)
and passing it to the Promise.resolve
function, which returns a Promise resolving to that 'result'.
The .catch
method handles any errors during the foo
function call and forwards them to the next
callback for processing.
I hope this clears up any confusion you may have had.
