AngularJS: $q wait for all even when 1 rejected

Question

I\'ve been trying to wait for a couple of promises with Angular\'s $q but there seems to be no option to \'wait for all even when a promis is rejected\'. I\'ve created an exampl

Answer 1

I solved this same issue recently. This was the problem:

• I had an array of promises to handle, promises
• I wanted to get all the results, resolve or reject
• I wanted the promises to run in parallel

This was how I solved the problem:

promises = promises.map(
    promise => promise.catch(() => null)
);
$q.all(promises, results => {
    // code to handle results
});

It's not a general fix, but it is simple and and easy to follow. Of course if any of your promises could resolve to null then you can't distinguish between that a rejection, but it works in many cases and you can always modify the catch function to work with the particular problem you're solving.
