The key difference lies in how these methods handle multiple promises and their outcomes:
Promise.all:
- Resolves only when all promises resolve successfully.
- Rejects immediately if any promise rejects.
- Use it when all tasks must succeed for the next step to proceed.
Promise.any:
- Resolves as soon as the first promise fulfills.
- Rejects only if all promises reject.
- Use it when you only need the fastest successful result.
Promise.race:
- Resolves or rejects as soon as the first promise settles (either resolves or rejects).
- Use it when the timing of the first outcome matters more than whether it succeeded or failed.
Promise.allSettled:
- Resolves when all promises settle, regardless of whether they resolve or reject.
- Provides the status and outcome of each promise.
- Use it when you want to know the result of every promise, even if some fail.
