Also,\nthe <code>triggerAsyncId</code> value is <code>0</code>, which means that we are missing context about\nthe resource that caused (triggered) the <code>then()</code> callback to be executed.</p>\n<p>Installing async hooks via <code>async_hooks.createHook</code> enables promise execution\ntracking:</p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-js\">const ah = require('async_hooks');\nah.createHook({ init() {} }).enable(); // forces PromiseHooks to be enabled.\nPromise.resolve(1729).then(() => {\n console.log(`eid ${ah.executionAsyncId()} tid ${ah.triggerAsyncId()}`);\n});\n// produces:\n// eid 7 tid 6\n</code></pre>\n<p>In this example, adding any actual hook function enabled the tracking of\npromises. There are two promises in the example above; the promise created by\n<code>Promise.resolve()</code> and the promise returned by the call to <code>then()</code>. In the\nexample above, the first promise got the <code>asyncId</code> <code>6</code> and the latter got\n<code>asyncId</code> <code>7</code>.
