Ideas for Generator Functions

async function* foo() {
  yield 1;
  yield 2;
}

(async function () {
  for await (const num of foo()) {
    console.log(num);
    // Expected output: 1

    break; // Closes iterator, triggers return
  }
})();

Conecpts

forward only evaluation

• memory friendly
• infinite

Creating your own iterators

Chunking

function* chunks(arr: Array<Bit>, n = 10): Generator<Array<Bit>, void> {
    for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i += n) {
        yield arr.slice(i, i + n);
    }
}

Lazy Loading

Pagination

Animations

Infinite Series

Data that comes in constantly and will never end - for example live updates to data that happens once a minute.

Input Series

Input yeilded similar to the command line - write a prompt and wait for input
