How to wait for result of two promises, then do something?

Question

Well, subject. Can\'t figure out...

Condition: both promises start asynchronously and not one after another. Like this:

spashGoing.then(         


        

Answer 1

Thanks @Evan Trimboli with .join! See in comment under topic. I went to this and found more beatiful solution here:

WinJS.Promise.join({ 
     p1: p1, 
     p2: p2, 
     m3: 3})
.then(function (args) {
    //args.p1 = null
    //args.p2 = promise with handle to file
    //args.m3 = 3
    console.log("Joined promise completed");
}, function (error) {
    console.log("Joined promise error '" + error + "' occured but was handled");
}).done();

If WinJS promises are Promise/A+ promises

Promise.all([
    spashGoing.then(doSomethingForItself), 
    writingGoing.then(doSomethingForItself2)
]).then(function(results) {
    // do things with results
});

Well, answered too soon - WinJS promises are a typical example of Microsoft's "let's do things just a little different" attitude towards the web
