//  Without using promises:
Need to pass annoymus function callbacks:
function watchTutorialCallback(callback, errorCallback) {
  let userLeft = true
  let userWatchingCatMeme = false

  if (userLeft) {
    errorCallback({
      name: 'User Left',
      message: ':('
    })
  } else if (userWatchingCatMeme) {
    errorCallback({
      name: 'User Watching Cat Meme',
      message: 'WebDevSimplified < Cat'
    })
  } else {
    callback('Thumbs up and Subscribe')
  }
}

watchTutorialCallback(message => {
  console.log(message)
}, error => {
  console.log(error.name + ' ' + error.message)
})


// Using promises:
function watchTutorialPromise() {
  let userLeft = false
  let userWatchingCatMeme = false
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    if (userLeft) {
      reject({
        name: 'User Left',
        message: ':('
      })
    } else if (userWatchingCatMeme) {
      reject({
        name: 'User Watching Cat Meme',
        message: 'WebDevSimplified < Cat'
      })
    } else {
      resolve('Thumbs up and Subscribe')
    }
  })
}
watchTutorialPromise().then(message => {
  console.log(message)
}).catch(error => {
  console.log(error.name + ' ' + error.message)
})

.then  is called for resolve, messge is the data passed back from resolve,
.catch is called for reject, error is the data object passed back


// Benefits of using promises/
const recordVideoOne = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  resolve('Video 1 Recorded')
})

const recordVideoTwo = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  resolve('Video 2 Recorded')
})

const recordVideoThree = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  resolve('Video 3 Recorded')
})

Promise.all([
  recordVideoOne,
  recordVideoTwo,
  recordVideoThree
]).then(messages => {
  console.log(messages)
})

// Execute all three request at same time, and wait for every request has been resolved
very difficult to achieve through call backs.


// Return as long as one request has a response:
Promise.race([
  recordVideoOne,
  recordVideoTwo,
  recordVideoThree
]).then(message => {
  console.log(message)
})
