TOPIC
I had one of those “ahhh so this is what that thing is for” moments while testing an angular component relying on promises. I suddenly realized why “flushMicrotasks” and why I need it. Do you need it? Let me tell you my story and find out.
In short:
Testing promises in Angular is hard.
In the front-end we often deal with async interactions and often use promises. When it comes to testing we get stuck and give up on the already hard to do testing.
We need to know what are microtasks, how promises use them and when do they get invoked - in the context of the (almighty!) js event loop.
