Best es6 way to get name based results with Promise.all

Question

By default the Promise.All([]) function returns a number based index array that contains the results of each promise.

var promises = [];
promises.push(myFuncAsync1()); //returns 1
promises.push(myFuncAsync1()); //returns 2
Promise.all(promises).then((results)=>{
    //results = [0,1]
}

What is the best vanilla way to return a named index of results with Promise.all()?

I tried with a Map, but it returns results in an array this way: [key1, value1, key2, value2]

UPDATE:

My questions seems unclear, here is why i don't like ordered based index:

1. it's crappy to maintain: if you add a promise in your code you may have to rewrite the whole results function because the index may have change.
2. it's awful to read: results[42] (can be fixed with jib's answer below)
3. Not really usable in a dynamic context:

var promises = [];
if(...)
    promises.push(...);
else{
    [...].forEach(... => { 
        if(...)
            promises.push(...);
        else
            [...].forEach(... => {
                promises.push(...);
            });
    });
}
Promise.all(promises).then((resultsArr)=>{
    /*Here i am basically fucked without clear named results 
        that dont rely on promises' ordering in the array */
});

Answer 1

Is this the kind of thing?

var promises = [];
promises.push(myFuncAsync1().then(r => {name : "func1", result : r}));
promises.push(myFuncAsync1().then(r => {name : "func2", result : r}));
Promise.all(promises).then(results => {
    var lookup = results.reduce((prev, curr) => {
        prev[curr.name] = curr.result;
        return prev;
    }, {});
    var firstResult = lookup["func1"];
    var secondResult = lookup["func2"];
}

ES6 supports destructuring, so if you just want to name the results you can write:

var myFuncAsync1 = () => Promise.resolve(1);
var myFuncAsync2 = () => Promise.resolve(2);

Promise.all([myFuncAsync1(), myFuncAsync2()])
  .then(([result1, result2]) => console.log(result1 +" and "+ result2)) //1 and 2
  .catch(e => console.error(e));

Works in Firefox and Chrome now.

in regards to @kragovip's answer, the reason you want to avoid that is shown here:

https://medium.com/front-end-weekly/async-await-is-not-about-making-asynchronous-code-synchronous-ba5937a0c11e

"...it’s really easy to get used to await all of your network and I/O calls.

However, you should be careful when using it multiple times in a row as the await keyword stops execution of all the code after it. (Exactly as it would be in synchronous code)"

Bad Example (DONT FOLLOW)

async function processData() {
  const data1 = await downloadFromService1();
  const data2 = await downloadFromService2();
  const data3 = await downloadFromService3();

  ...
}

"There is also absolutely no need to wait for the completion of first request as none of other requests depend on its result.

We would like to have requests sent in parallel and wait for all of them to finish simultaneously. This is where the power of asynchronous event-driven programming lies.

To fix this we can use Promise.all() method. We save Promises from async function calls to variables, combine them to an array and await them all at once."

Instead

async function processData() {
  const promise1 = downloadFromService1();
  const promise2 = downloadFromService2();
  const promise3 = downloadFromService3();

  const allResults = await Promise.all([promise1, promise2, promise3]);

A great solution for this is to use async await. Not exactly ES6 like you asked, but ES8! But since Babel supports it fully, here we go:

You can avoid using only the array index by using async/await as follows.

This async function allows you to literally halt your code inside of it by allowing you to use the await keyword inside of the function, placing it before a promise. As as an async function encounters await on a promise that hasn't yet been resolved, the function immediately returns a pending promise. This returned promise resolves as soon as the function actually finishes later on. The function will only resume when the previously awaited promise is resolved, during which it will resolve the entire await Promise statement to the return value of that Promise, allowing you to put it inside of a variable. This effectively allows you to halt your code without blocking the thread. It's a great way to handle asynchronous stuff in JavaScript in general, because it makes your code more chronological and therefore easier to reason about:

async function resolvePromiseObject(promiseObject) {
    await Promise.all(Object.values(promiseObject));

    const ret = {};

    for ([key, value] of Object.entries(promiseObject)) {
        // All these resolve instantly due to the previous await
        ret[key] = await value;
    };

    return ret;
}

As with anything above ES5: Please make sure that Babel is configured correctly so that users on older browsers can run your code without issue. You can make async await work flawlessly on even IE11, as long as your babel configuration is right.
