[angularjs] Wait for all promises to resolve

So I have a situation where I have multiple promise chains of an unknown length. I want some action to run when all the CHAINS have been processed. Is that even possible? Here is an example:

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, $q, $timeout) {
    var one = $q.defer();
    var two = $q.defer();
    var three = $q.defer();

    var all = $q.all([one.promise, two.promise, three.promise]);
    all.then(allSuccess);

    function success(data) {
        console.log(data);
        return data + "Chained";
    }

    function allSuccess(){
        console.log("ALL PROMISES RESOLVED")
    }

    one.promise.then(success).then(success);
    two.promise.then(success);
    three.promise.then(success).then(success).then(success);

    $timeout(function () {
        one.resolve("one done");
    }, Math.random() * 1000);

    $timeout(function () {
        two.resolve("two done");
    }, Math.random() * 1000);

    $timeout(function () {
        three.resolve("three done");
    }, Math.random() * 1000);
});

In this example, I set up a $q.all() for promises one, two, and three which will get resolved at some random time. I then add promises onto the ends of one and three. I want the all to resolve when all the chains have been resolved. Here is the output when I run this code:

one done 
one doneChained
two done
three done
ALL PROMISES RESOLVED
three doneChained
three doneChainedChained 

Is there a way to wait for the chains to resolve?

There is a way. $q.all(...

You can check the below stuffs:

Recently had this problem but with unkown number of promises.Solved using jQuery.map().

function methodThatChainsPromises(args) {

    //var args = [
    //    'myArg1',
    //    'myArg2',
    //    'myArg3',
    //];

    var deferred = $q.defer();
    var chain = args.map(methodThatTakeArgAndReturnsPromise);

    $q.all(chain)
    .then(function () {
        $log.debug('All promises have been resolved.');
        deferred.resolve();
    })
    .catch(function () {
        $log.debug('One or more promises failed.');
        deferred.reject();
    });

    return deferred.promise;
}

You can use "await" in an "async function".

app.controller('MainCtrl', async function($scope, $q, $timeout) {
  ...
  var all = await $q.all([one.promise, two.promise, three.promise]); 
  ...
}

NOTE: I'm not 100% sure you can call an async function from a non-async function and have the right results.

That said this wouldn't ever be used on a website. But for load-testing/integration test...maybe.

Example code:

async function waitForIt(printMe) {_x000D_
  console.log(printMe);_x000D_
  console.log("..."+await req());_x000D_
  console.log("Legendary!")_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
function req() {_x000D_
  _x000D_
  var promise = new Promise(resolve => {_x000D_
    setTimeout(() => {_x000D_
      resolve("DARY!");_x000D_
    }, 2000);_x000D_
    _x000D_
  });_x000D_
_x000D_
    return promise;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
waitForIt("Legen-Wait For It");

The accepted answer is correct. I would like to provide an example to elaborate it a bit to those who aren't familiar with promise.

Example:

In my example, I need to replace the src attributes of img tags with different mirror urls if available before rendering the content.

var img_tags = content.querySelectorAll('img');

function checkMirrorAvailability(url) {

    // blah blah 

    return promise;
}

function changeSrc(success, y, response) {
    if (success === true) {
        img_tags[y].setAttribute('src', response.mirror_url);
    } 
    else {
        console.log('No mirrors for: ' + img_tags[y].getAttribute('src'));
    }
}

var promise_array = [];

for (var y = 0; y < img_tags.length; y++) {
    var img_src = img_tags[y].getAttribute('src');

    promise_array.push(
        checkMirrorAvailability(img_src)
        .then(

            // a callback function only accept ONE argument. 
            // Here, we use  `.bind` to pass additional arguments to the
            // callback function (changeSrc).

            // successCallback
            changeSrc.bind(null, true, y),
            // errorCallback
            changeSrc.bind(null, false, y)
        )
    );
}

$q.all(promise_array)
.then(
    function() {
        console.log('all promises have returned with either success or failure!');
        render(content);
    }
    // We don't need an errorCallback function here, because above we handled
    // all errors.
);

Explanation:

From AngularJS docs:

The then method:

then(successCallback, errorCallback, notifyCallback) – regardless of when the promise was or will be resolved or rejected, then calls one of the success or error callbacks asynchronously as soon as the result is available. The callbacks are called with a single argument: the result or rejection reason.

$q.all(promises)

Combines multiple promises into a single promise that is resolved when all of the input promises are resolved.

The promises param can be an array of promises.
