I don't think you can do this by casting or wrapping: the type of a

pulumi.output(x as Promise<X>)

is going to be an

Output<Promise<X>

. Rather, everywhere that you might use an Output or Promise actually takes an Input, which is a union type including both the Output and the Promise. So you can just ignore the requirement for an Output, and use the Promise directly.

So you could rewrite your example code as

Copy code

const output = new Promise<Map<string, string>>((resolve, reject) => new Map<string, string>());

And use that output variable anywhere that needs an Input.

Thank you @little-cartoon-10569. The issue is I want to expose that value as an output property of my ComponentResource class. My understanding is that I should use pulumi.Output type in such cases.

You can use any type. Things that you can pass an Output<x> to (almost) always take an Input<x>, which is a union type defined as

x | Promise<x> | Output<x>

. You can export strings, Promises of lists, Outputs of numbers.. whatever you like.

And "outputs" of ComponentResources are just properties, there is no magic to them. The only "output" variables are those exported from Pulumi projects / stacks. Any public properties of ComponentResources, of any time, can be exported and Pulumi will handle it. (With the gotcha that there is no marshalling / unmarshalling, so if you're exporting non-primitives, you're going to have to marshal / unmarshall them yourself).
