Generator Function in Javascript

Generator functions in JavaScript can return multiple values one by one using the yield keyword, unlike regular functions which return a single value. When called, a generator function returns a generator object. The generator object's next() method runs the code until the next yield statement and returns the yielded value each time.

What are generator funtions?


Regular functions return only one,
single value (or nothing).

Generators can return (“yield”)


multiple values, one after another,
on-demand. They work great with
iterables, allowing to create data
streams with ease.

Let’s call generator.next() again

NEW CALLS TO GENERATOR.NEXT() DON’T MAKE SENSE ANY MORE.

Now the generator is done. We should see it from


done:true and process value:3 as the final result.

after this they return the same object: {done: true}
