The next() method of AsyncGenerator instances returns the next value in the sequence.
value Optional
An optional value used to modify the internal state of the generator. A value passed to the next() method will be received by yield
A Promise which when resolved returns an Object with two properties:
done
A boolean value:
true if the generator is past the end of its control flow. In this case value specifies the return value of the generator (which may be undefined).false if the generator is able to produce more values.value
Any JavaScript value yielded or returned by the generator.
The following example shows a generator and the object that the next method returns:
// An async task. Pretend it's doing something more useful
// in practice.
function delayedValue(time, value) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(() => resolve(value), time);
});
}
async function* createAsyncGenerator() {
yield delayedValue(500, 1);
yield delayedValue(500, 2);
yield delayedValue(500, 3);
}
const asyncGen = createAsyncGenerator();
asyncGen.next().then((res) => console.log(res)); // { value: 1, done: false }
asyncGen.next().then((res) => console.log(res)); // { value: 2, done: false }
asyncGen.next().then((res) => console.log(res)); // { value: 3, done: false }
asyncGen.next().then((res) => console.log(res)); // { value: undefined, done: true }
In this example, next is called with a value.
Note: The first call does not log anything, because the generator was not yielding anything initially.
// An async task. Pretend it's doing something more useful
// in practice.
function sleep(time) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(resolve, time);
});
}
async function* createAsyncGenerator() {
while (true) {
await sleep(500);
const value = yield;
console.log(value);
}
}
async function main() {
const asyncGen = createAsyncGenerator();
// No log at this step: the first value sent through `next` is lost
console.log(await asyncGen.next(1)); // { value: undefined, done: false }
// Logs 2: the value sent through `next`
console.log(await asyncGen.next(2)); // { value: undefined, done: false }
}
main();
