Beyond Promises: Exploring the Power of Thenables in JavaScript Async Operations
2025-06-10
This article delves into the power of Thenables in JavaScript, objects with a `.then()` method that can be awaited using the `await` keyword, even if they aren't Promise objects. The article demonstrates creating a Thenable simulating asynchronous operations and compares it to Prisma's lazy execution. While highlighting the lightweight nature of Thenables for async operations, the author cautions that complex Thenables can be harder to debug, recommending native Promises when appropriate.
