why does `Promise.reject()` require a `Throwable` ...

# javascript

[thana]

why does Promise.reject() require a Throwable argument while in JS you can reject with any value?

[gildor]

Probably it was concidered as more correct, or just following some standard.
Anyway, you can define own extension for promise where you can pass any type

[thana]

no, the compiler tells me, that extension functions cannot be external

[ilya.gorbunov]

Do you need it to be external? Define it as a regular extension that calls this.asDynamic().reject(...)

[thana]

ok true
