## deferred.always( alwaysCallbacks [, alwaysCallbacks ] )Returns: Deferred

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

- #### version added: 1.6 deferred.always( alwaysCallbacks [, alwaysCallbacks ] )

  - alwaysCallbacks
    Type: Function()
    A function, or array of functions, that is called when the Deferred is resolved or rejected.
  - alwaysCallbacks
    Type: Function()
    Optional additional functions, or arrays of functions, that are called when the Deferred is resolved or rejected.

The argument can be either a single function or an array of functions. When the Deferred is resolved or rejected, the `alwaysCallbacks` are called. Since `deferred.always()` returns the Deferred object, other methods of the Deferred object can be chained to this one, including additional `.always()` methods. When the Deferred is resolved or rejected, callbacks are executed in the order they were added, using the arguments provided to the `resolve`, `reject`, `resolveWith` or `rejectWith` method calls. For more information, see the documentation for Deferred object.

Note: The `deferred.always()` method receives the arguments that were used to `.resolve()` or `.reject()` the `Deferred` object, which are often very different. For this reason, it's best to use it only for actions that do not require inspecting the arguments. In all other cases, use explicit `.done()` or `.fail()` handlers since the arguments will have well-known orders.

## Example:

Since the `jQuery.get()` method returns a `jqXHR` object, which is derived from a Deferred object, we can attach a callback for both success and error using the `deferred.always()` method.
