Understanding Promise.all in JavaScript

Is Promise.all still relevant in 2025?

In 2025, async JavaScript looks very different. With tools like Promise.any, Promise.allSettled, and Array.fromAsync, many developers wonder if Promise.all is still worth it. The short answer is yes — but only if you know when and why to use it.

  1. Very helpful, however there is a small bug in the RegExp that will cause .tsx files to be missed in the jest.config.ts file. The correct one is:

    transform: {
    ‘^.+\\.tsx?$’: ‘ts-jest’,
    },

      1. Additionally, that snipped has smart quotes rather than straight quotes, which will throw a syntax error in the file.
