What is the return type of resolve and reject function of a Promise?

Question

I am trying to find the return type of resolve and reject function of a Promise I am creating with typescript, so that tslint does not complain based on the typedef rules.

Here is the code :

promises.ts

const promise: Promise<number> = new Promise((resolve, reject): void => {
    //the resolve / reject functions control the fate of the promise
    resolve(123);
});

//The promise fate can be subscribed to using .then (if resolved) or .catch (if rejected)
promise.then((res) => {
    console.log('I get called:', res === 123);      //I get called: true
});

Right now tslint complains about resolve, reject and res (expected arrow parameter to have a typedef)

Update #2 : This code does not give me any tslint or TS errors

const promise: Promise<number> = new Promise((resolve: (value?: {} | PromiseLike<{}> | undefined) => void, reject: (reason?: any) => void): void => {
    //the resolve / reject functions control the fate of the promise
    resolve(123);
});

//The promise fate can be subscribed to using .then (if resolved) or .catch (if rejected)
promise.then((res: number) => {
    console.log('I get called:', res === 123);      //I get called: true
});

Solution

You can always check the definitions inside the lib.d.ts file, in this case the definition for the PromiseConstructorLike is:

declare type PromiseConstructorLike = new <T>(executor: (resolve: (value?: T | PromiseLike<T>) => void, reject: (reason?: any) => void) => void) => PromiseLike<T>;

Which means that the type for resolve is:

(value?: T | PromiseLike<T>) => void

And for reject:

(reason?: any) => void

So both return void
