I've been reading a lot about React for the last 3 days, but I don't see much information about the use of promises, so I have that concern.
Is there any library for this?
How should I use promises in React?

I also did not interpret is there any library for this to mean does react provide this functionality. – Evan Davis Commented Aug 5, 2015 at 20:41
- A multiplicity of approaches to async calls (promise, callback) can be used in react ponents. You use them in react the same way you would in other contexts. React specialises exclusively on the rendering. Look into Flux or similar frameworks for managing the data flow with react. – widged Commented Aug 5, 2015 at 23:58

You might find information that might help you refine your question by googling
reactjs flux promise
: facebook.github.io/flux/docs/todo-list.html, reactjsnews./getting-started-with-flux, madebymany./blog/…. This will locate some libs as well: npmjs./package/react-deferred. – widged Commented Aug 5, 2015 at 23:58

Reset to default 8React doesn't e with a promise library baked in like Angular with $http
. You will have to find your own.
A few you can try:
- Bluebird (personal remendation)
- jQuery's
$ajax
- Native promises (unless you actually have to support IE): http://caniuse./#feat=promises
Promise object is used for handling asynchronous putations which has some important guarantees that are difficult to handle with the callback method (the more old-school method of handling asynchronous code).
A Promise object is simply a wrapper around a value that may or may not be known when the object is instantiated and provides a method for handling the value after it is known (also known as resolved) or is unavailable for a failure reason (we'll refer to this as rejected).
Using a Promise object gives us the opportunity to associate functionality for an asynchronous operation's eventual success or failure (for whatever reason). It also allows us to treat these plex scenarios by using synchronous.
