The Promise object represents the eventual completion (or failure) of an asynchronous operation and its resulting value.

Static methods
staticall<T>(iterable:Array<Promise<T>>):Promise<Array<T>>
staticall(iterable:Array<Dynamic>):Promise<Array<Dynamic>>
Returns a promise that either fulfills when all of the promises in the iterable argument have fulfilled or rejects as soon as one of the promises in the iterable argument rejects. If the returned promise fulfills, it is fulfilled with an array of the values from the fulfilled promises in the same order as defined in the iterable. If the returned promise rejects, it is rejected with the reason from the first promise in the iterable that rejected. This method can be useful for aggregating results of multiple promises.
staticallSettled<T>(iterable:Array<Promise<T>>):Promise<Array<PromiseSettleOutcome<T>>>
staticallSettled(iterable:Array<Dynamic>):Promise<Array<PromiseSettleOutcome<Dynamic>>>
Returns a promise that resolves after all of the given promises have either fulfilled or rejected, with an array of objects that each describes the outcome of each promise.
It is typically used when you have multiple asynchronous tasks that are not dependent on one another to complete successfully, or you'd always like to know the result of each promise.
In comparison, the Promise returned by Promise.all may be more appropriate if the tasks are dependent
on each other / if you'd like to immediately reject upon any of them rejecting.
staticrace<T>(iterable:Array<Promise<T>>):Promise<T>
staticrace(iterable:Array<Dynamic>):Promise<Dynamic>
Returns a promise that fulfills or rejects as soon as one of the promises in the iterable fulfills or rejects, with the value or reason from that promise.
staticreject<T>(?reason:Dynamic):Promise<T>
Returns a Promise object that is rejected with the given reason.
staticresolve<T>(thenable:Thenable<T>):Promise<T>
staticresolve<T>(?value:T):Promise<T>
Returns a Promise object that is resolved with the given value. If the
value is Thenable, the returned promise will "follow" that
thenable, adopting its eventual state;
otherwise the returned promise will be fulfilled with the value.
Generally, when it's unknown when value is a promise or not,
use Promise.resolve(value) instead and work with the return value as
a promise.
Constructor
Methods
catchError(onRejected:PromiseHandler<Dynamic, T>):Promise<T>
catch<TOut>(onRejected:PromiseHandler<Dynamic, TOut>):Promise<EitherType<T, TOut>>
Appends a rejection handler callback to the promise, and returns a new promise resolving to the return value of the callback if it is called, or to its original fulfillment value if the promise is instead fulfilled.
finally(onFinally:() ‑> Void):Promise<T>
Returns a Promise. When the promise is settled, i.e either fulfilled or rejected, the specified callback function is executed. This provides a way for code to be run whether the promise was fulfilled successfully or rejected once the Promise has been dealt with.
then<TOut>(onFulfilled:Null<PromiseHandler<T, TOut>>, ?onRejected:PromiseHandler<Dynamic, TOut>):Promise<TOut>
Appends fulfillment and rejection handlers to the promise and returns a new promise resolving to the return value of the called handler, or to its original settled value if the promise was not handled (i.e. if the relevant handler onFulfilled or onRejected is not a function).
