    Promise Object

    The object returned by all methods of _gka variable implements the Promise interface, giving them all the properties, methods, and behaviour of a Promise (see jQuery Deferred for more information). It represents a value that may not be available yet.

    promise.done(doneCallbacks [, doneCallbacks ]): Promise Example
    Description: Add handlers to be called when the Deferred object is resolved.
    • doneCallbacks
      Type: Function(response, status)
      A function, or array of functions, that are called when the Deferred is resolved.
    • doneCallbacks
      Type: Function(response, status)
      Optional additional functions, or arrays of functions, that are called when the Deferred is resolved.
     
    promise.done(function(response, status) {
        alert('ajax call succeeded');
        console.log(response);
        console.log(status)
    });
    promise.fail(failCallbacks [, failCallbacks ])): Promise Example
    Description: Add handlers to be called when the Deferred object is rejected.
    • doneCallbacks
      Type: Function(error, status)
      A function, or array of functions, that are called when the Deferred is rejected.
    • doneCallbacks
      Type: Function(error, status)
      Optional additional functions, or arrays of functions, that are called when the Deferred is rejected.
    promise.done(function() {
        alert('ajax call succeeded');
    }).fail(function(error, status) {
        alert('ajax call failed');
        console.log(error);
        console.log(status)
    });
    promise.always(alwaysCallbacks [, alwaysCallbacks ]): Promise Example
    Description: Add handlers to be called when the Deferred object is either resolved or rejected.
    • doneCallbacks
      Type: Function(response|error, status)
      A function, or array of functions, that is called when the Deferred is resolved or rejected.
    • doneCallbacks
      Type: Function(response|error, status)
      Optional additional functions, or arrays of functions, that are called when the Deferred is resolved or rejected.
    promise.always(function(responseOrError, status) {
        alert('ajax call completed with success or error callback arguments');
        console.log(responseOrError);
        console.log(status)
    });
    promise.state(): String
    Description: Determine the current state of a linked Deferred object.

    The .state() method returns a string representing the current state of the Deferred object. The Deferred object can be in one of three states:

    • pending: The Deferred object is not yet in a completed state (neither "rejected" nor "resolved").
    • resolved: The Deferred object is in the resolved state, meaning that the doneCallbacks have been called (or are in the process of being called).
    • rejected: The Deferred object is in the rejected state, meaning that the failCallbacks have been called (or are in the process of being called).
