Wait for all promises to resolve

I want the all to resolve when all the chains have been resolved.

Sure, then just pass the promise of each chain into the all() instead of the initial promises:

$q.all([one.promise, two.promise, three.promise]).then(function() {    console.log("ALL INITIAL PROMISES RESOLVED");});var onechain   = one.promise.then(success).then(success),    twochain   = two.promise.then(success),    threechain = three.promise.then(success).then(success).then(success);$q.all([onechain, twochain, threechain]).then(function() {    console.log("ALL PROMISES RESOLVED");});

The accepted answer is correct. I would like to provide an example to elaborate it a bit to those who aren't familiar with promise.

Example:

In my example, I need to replace the src attributes of img tags with different mirror urls if available before rendering the content.

var img_tags = content.querySelectorAll('img');function checkMirrorAvailability(url) {    // blah blah     return promise;}function changeSrc(success, y, response) {    if (success === true) {        img_tags[y].setAttribute('src', response.mirror_url);    }     else {        console.log('No mirrors for: ' + img_tags[y].getAttribute('src'));    }}var promise_array = [];for (var y = 0; y < img_tags.length; y++) {    var img_src = img_tags[y].getAttribute('src');    promise_array.push(        checkMirrorAvailability(img_src)        .then(            // a callback function only accept ONE argument.             // Here, we use  `.bind` to pass additional arguments to the            // callback function (changeSrc).            // successCallback            changeSrc.bind(null, true, y),            // errorCallback            changeSrc.bind(null, false, y)        )    );}$q.all(promise_array).then(    function() {        console.log('all promises have returned with either success or failure!');        render(content);    }    // We don't need an errorCallback function here, because above we handled    // all errors.);

Explanation:

From AngularJS docs:

The then method:

then(successCallback, errorCallback, notifyCallback) – regardless of when the promise was or will be resolved or rejected, then calls one of the success or error callbacks asynchronously as soon as the result is available. The callbacks are called with a single argument: the result or rejection reason.

$q.all(promises)

Combines multiple promises into a single promise that is resolved when all of the input promises are resolved.

The promises param can be an array of promises.

Recently had this problem but with unkown number of promises.Solved using jQuery.map().

function methodThatChainsPromises(args) {    //var args = [    //    'myArg1',    //    'myArg2',    //    'myArg3',    //];    var deferred = $q.defer();    var chain = args.map(methodThatTakeArgAndReturnsPromise);    $q.all(chain)    .then(function () {        $log.debug('All promises have been resolved.');        deferred.resolve();    })    .catch(function () {        $log.debug('One or more promises failed.');        deferred.reject();    });    return deferred.promise;}
