jQuery jQuery Deferred objects and Promises Get the current state of a promise
Example
By default the state of a promise is pending when it is created. The state of a promise is changed when the deferred object which created the promise either resolves/rejects it.
var deferred = new $.Deferred();
var d1= deferred.promise({
prop: "value"
});
var d2= $("div").promise();
var d3= $("div").hide(1000).promise();
console.log(d1.state()); // "pending"
console.log(d2.state()); // "resolved"
console.log(d3.state()); // "pending"
