deferred.always( alwaysCallbacks ) ExampleTop

Add handlers to be called when the Deferred object is resolved or rejected.

In the example below when we press the left button the first time we create a Deferred object and use some deferred object methods on it. We then resolve the Deferred object and hence deferred.always( alwaysCallbacks ) gets called with the message passed from the resolve.

When we press the right button the first time, we create a Deferred object and use some deferred object methods on it. We then reject the Deferred object and hence deferred.always( alwaysCallbacks ) gets called with the message passed from the reject.


$(function(){
  $('#btn1').one('click', function(){
    var ourDeferred = $.Deferred();
    ourDeferred.always( aFunc );
    ourDeferred.progress( [aFunc, bFunc] );
    ourDeferred.notify( 'The aFunc function was fired from our deferred. <br>', '#div1');
    ourDeferred.resolve( 'Our deferred was resolved. <br>', '#div1' );
  });
  $('#btn4').one('click', function(){
    var ourDeferred = $.Deferred();
    ourDeferred.always( aFunc );
    ourDeferred.progress( aFunc );
    ourDeferred.notify( 'The aFunc function was fired from our deferred. <br>', '#div1' );
    ourDeferred.reject( 'Our deferred was rejected. <br>', '#div1' );
  });
