AngularJS: $q wait for all even when 1 rejected

angularjs

Solution

Ok, I've implemeted a basic version myself (I only want to wait for an array of promises). Anyone can extend this or create a cleaner version if they want to :-) Check the jsfiddle to see it in action: http://jsfiddle.net/Zenuka/pHEf9/

angular.module('test').config(['$provide', function ($provide) {
    $provide.decorator('$q', ['$delegate', function ($delegate) {
        var $q = $delegate;

        // Extention for q
        $q.allSettled = $q.allSettled || function (promises) {
            var deferred = $q.defer();
            if (angular.isArray(promises)) {
                var states = [];
                var results = [];
                var didAPromiseFail = false;
                if (promises.length === 0) { 
                    deferred.resolve(results);
                    return deferred.promise;
                }

                // First create an array for all promises with their state
                angular.forEach(promises, function (promise, key) {
                    states[key] = false;
                });

                // Helper to check if all states are finished
                var checkStates = function (states, results, deferred, failed) {
                    var allFinished = true;
                    angular.forEach(states, function (state, key) {
                        if (!state) {
                            allFinished = false;
                        }
                    });
                    if (allFinished) {
                        if (failed) {
                            deferred.reject(results);
                        } else {
                            deferred.resolve(results);
                        }
                    }
                }

                // Loop through the promises
                // a second loop to be sure that checkStates is called when all states are set to false first
                angular.forEach(promises, function (promise, key) {
                    $q.when(promise).then(function (result) {
                        states[key] = true;
                        results[key] = result;
                        checkStates(states, results, deferred, didAPromiseFail);
                    }, function (reason) {
                        states[key] = true;
                        results[key] = reason;
                        didAPromiseFail = true;
                        checkStates(states, results, deferred, didAPromiseFail);
                    });
                });
            } else {
                throw 'allSettled can only handle an array of promises (for now)';
            }

            return deferred.promise;
        };

        return $q;
    }]);
}]);

Problem

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 example (http://jsfiddle.net/Zenuka/pHEf9/21/) and I want a function to be executed when all promises are resolved/rejected, is that possible? Something like: ``` $q.whenAllComplete(promises, function() {....}) ``` EDIT: In the example you see that the second service fails and immediately after that the function in `$q.all().then(..., function(){...})` is being executed. I want to wait for the fifth promise to be completed.
