JavaScript: Return true if an object looks like a Promise, false otherwise

JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-189 with Solution

Write a JavaScript program that returns true if an object looks like a Promise, false otherwise.

• Check if the object is not null, its typeof matches either object or function and if it has a .then property, which is also a function.

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2 
const isPromiseLike = obj =>
  obj !== null &&
  (typeof obj === 'object' || typeof obj === 'function') &&
  typeof obj.then === 'function';

console.log(isPromiseLike({
  then: function() {
    return '';
  }
})); 
console.log(isPromiseLike(null));
console.log(isPromiseLike({}));

Sample Output:

true
false
false
