Better name for IDBRequest's promise getter?

[inexorabletash]

Currently .promise.

@domenic suggests .ready, .complete, .done but has no preferences

I don't like .promise either. To list the other stuff on IDBRequest, we're competing with:

• .readyState ("pending" or "done")
• .result (throws if pending, undefined if error)
• .error (throws if pending, null if no error)

My concern about .ready, .complete or .done specifically is that the promise holds the result value, not just the signal that the request is complete (unlike on the transaction), and thus accessing the value with those will read awkwardly with await syntax.

Oooooh... how about .value ?

let x = await store.get(key).value;
let count = await store.count(range).value;
let cursor = await index.openCursor().value;

Possible objection: IDBCursor has .value as a synchronous accessor (along with .key etc)

[inexorabletash]

.value is also a bit odd for put calls when the result isn't actually used, e.g.

await store.put(data).value;

I think this is fine. navigator.serviceWorker.ready resolves with a registration, .ready in the font loading API resolves with a font face object.

Done - .ready it is.
