Order priorities of process.nextTick
, Promise
, setTimeout
and setImmediate
are as follows:
process.nextTick
: Highest priority, executed immediately after the current event loop cycle, before any other I/O events or timers.Promise
: Executed in the microtask queue, after the current event loop cycle, but before the next one.setTimeout
: Executed in the timer queue, after the current event loop cycle, with a minimum delay specified in milliseconds.setImmediate
: Executed in the check queue, but its order may vary based on the system and load. It generally runs in the next iteration of the event loop after I/O events.
console.log('start');
Promise.resolve().then(() => console.log('Promise'));
setTimeout(() => console.log('setTimeout'), 0);
process.nextTick(() => console.log('process.nextTick'));
setImmediate(() => console.log('setImmediate'));
console.log('end');
// Output:
// start
// end
// process.nextTick
// Promise
// setTimeout
// setImmediate
In summary, the order of execution is generally process.nextTick
> Promise
> setTimeout
> setImmediate
. However, keep in mind that the behavior may vary in specific situations, and the order might be influenced by factors such as system load and other concurrent operations.
