async iterable javascript code example

Example: js async iterator

let range = {
  from: 1,
  to: 5,

  [Symbol.asyncIterator]() { // (1)
    return {
      current: this.from,
      last: this.to,

      async next() { // (2)

        // note: we can use "await" inside the async next:
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); // (3)

        if (this.current <= this.last) {
          return { done: false, value: this.current++ };
        } else {
          return { done: true };
        }
      }
    };
  }
};

(async () => {

  for await (let value of range) { // (4)
    alert(value); // 1,2,3,4,5
  }

})()
