What are is-promise's main functionalities?

Check if a value is a promise

This feature allows you to check if a given value is a promise. The function returns true if the value is a promise and false otherwise.

const promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {});
const notPromise = {};

console.log(isPromise(promise)); // true
console.log(isPromise(notPromise)); // false
