Promise.allSettled() never rejects — it waits for every promise to finish and reports each individual outcome. It is the correct tool whenever partial failure is an expected, normal part of the operation.

1Promise.allSettled() Deep Dive | JavaScript Tutorial - In-Depth Guide Part 1

Promise.allSettled() waits for every promise to finish, no matter whether it fulfilled or rejected, and never rejects itself.

+
const results = await Promise.allSettled([
  Promise.resolve('ok'),
  Promise.reject('failed'),
]);
// never throws, regardless of the rejection above

Never Rejects

2Promise.allSettled() Deep Dive | JavaScript Tutorial - In-Depth Guide Part 2

Each entry in the result array is an object shaped like { status: 'fulfilled', value } or { status: 'rejected', reason }.

+
[
  { status: 'fulfilled', value: 'ok' },
  { status: 'rejected', reason: 'failed' },
]
localhost:3000

The Result Object Shape

3Promise.allSettled() Deep Dive | JavaScript Tutorial - In-Depth Guide Part 3

Filtering settled results by status is the standard way to separate successes from failures after the fact.

+
const succeeded = results.filter(r => r.status === 'fulfilled').map(r => r.value);
const failed = results.filter(r => r.status === 'rejected').map(r => r.reason);
localhost:3000

Separating Successes and Failures

4Promise.allSettled() Deep Dive | JavaScript Tutorial - In-Depth Guide Part 4

Promise.allSettled() is the right tool for bulk operations where individual item failures are expected and should be reported, not treated as fatal.

+
const results = await Promise.allSettled(userIds.map(sendNotification));
const failedCount = results.filter(r => r.status === 'rejected').length;
reportBatchResult({ total: userIds.length, failed: failedCount });
localhost:3000

Bulk Operations

5Promise.allSettled() Deep Dive | JavaScript Tutorial - In-Depth Guide Part 5

Because it never rejects, forgetting a try/catch around Promise.allSettled() is safe — but you must still explicitly check the per-item status or you'll silently ignore failures.

+
// Safe from crashing, but still needs explicit failure handling:
const results = await Promise.allSettled(tasks);
if (results.some(r => r.status === 'rejected')) {
  notifyPartialFailure(results);
}
localhost:3000

Don't Forget to Check Status

6Step-by-Step Breakdown

Promise.allSettled() waits for every promise to finish, no matter whether it fulfilled or rejected, and never rejects itself.

Checkpoint: Does Promise.allSettled() ever throw/reject itself, even if every input promise rejects?

  • Yes, if all inputs reject, it rejects too
  • No, it always resolves with an array describing each outcome

Each entry in the result array is an object shaped like { status: 'fulfilled', value } or { status: 'rejected', reason }.

Checkpoint: What property holds the result on a fulfilled entry from Promise.allSettled()?

  • .value
  • .reason

Filtering settled results by status is the standard way to separate successes from failures after the fact.

Accessibility (A11y)

1Summarize Bulk Operation Results Accessibly After allSettled() Completes

After a bulk action (like 'send to all') completes via Promise.allSettled(), announce a single clear summary ('42 sent, 3 failed') via an ARIA live region, rather than leaving screen reader users to infer the outcome from a silent UI change.

SEO Implications

  • 1

    No Direct SEO Effect

    Promise.allSettled() is a concurrency-control tool; its SEO relevance is limited to ensuring reliable batch data processing behind rendered content.

Best Practices

Use Promise.allSettled() for Any Batch Where Partial Success Is Acceptable

Sending many independent requests (notifications, uploads, validations) should not lose every result just because one item failed — allSettled() gives you the complete picture.

Always Explicitly Handle the Rejected Entries

Since allSettled() never throws, silently ignoring rejected entries in the results means failures can go unnoticed; always filter for and act on rejected outcomes.

Frequent Bugs

THE BUG

Processing an allSettled() result array as if every entry has a `.value`, causing failed entries (which only have `.reason`) to produce `undefined` silently mixed into successful results.

THE FIX

Always branch on `status` first, reading `.value` only for fulfilled entries and `.reason` only for rejected ones.

THE BUG

Using allSettled() but never checking for rejected entries, so failures are captured but never surfaced to the user or logged anywhere.

THE FIX

Explicitly filter for `status === "rejected"` entries after the call and report or log them.

Real-World Examples

Sending Notifications to Many Users, Reporting Partial Failures

A feature needed to email a batch of users about an update, where a handful of invalid or bounced addresses shouldn't prevent the rest from being notified.

const results = await Promise.allSettled(users.map(sendEmail));
const failedEmails = results
  .map((r, i) => ({ r, user: users[i] }))
  .filter(({ r }) => r.status === 'rejected')
  .map(({ user }) => user.email);
logFailedEmails(failedEmails);

Common Pitfalls & Errors

The Error //

Reading .value on a rejected entry

results.forEach(r => { if (r.status === 'fulfilled') use(r.value); else logError(r.reason); });

The Solution //

Always check `status` before accessing `.value` or `.reason`, since only one is present depending on the outcome.

Lesson Glossary

[01]Promise.allSettled()

Waits for every promise to settle and returns an array describing each outcome, never rejecting itself.

Code Preview
Promise.allSettled([p1,p2])

[02]Settled

A promise that has either fulfilled or rejected (as opposed to still pending).

Code Preview
fulfilled | rejected

[03]Result Status Object

The { status, value } or { status, reason } shape of each allSettled() result entry.

Code Preview
{ status: 'fulfilled', value }

[04]Partial Failure

A scenario where some operations in a batch fail while others succeed, without invalidating the whole batch.

Code Preview
batch operations

[05]Bulk Operation

An operation applied independently across many items, where allSettled() reports the outcome of each.
