How to support promises in Internet Explorer 11?

by

If you want this type of code to run in IE11 (which does not support much of ES6 at all), then you need to get a 3rd party promise library (like Bluebird), include that library and change your coding to use ES5 coding structures (no arrow functions, no let, etc…) so you can live within the limits of what older browsers support.

Or, you can use a transpiler (like Babel) to convert your ES6 code to ES5 code that will work in older browsers.

Here’s a version of your code written in ES5 syntax with the Bluebird promise library:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/bluebird/3.3.4/bluebird.min.js"></script>

<script>

'use strict';

var promise = new Promise(function(resolve) {
    setTimeout(function() {
        resolve("result");
    }, 1000);
});

promise.then(function(result) {
    alert("Fulfilled: " + result);
}, function(error) {
    alert("Rejected: " + error);
});

</script>
