What is an unhandled promise rejection in Node.js and why is it dangerous?

Key points

  • Unhandled promise rejection occurs when a Promise is rejected without proper error handling.
  • Without a .catch() handler or try/catch, the rejection can cause the Node.js process to crash.
  • It is crucial to always handle promise rejections to prevent unexpected termination of the application.
