Generators extended with forEach, map, reduce ... most standard Array methods.

generx

JavaScript generators extended with forEach, map, reduce ... most standard Array methods.

Installation

npm install generx

The current BETA code is not currently transpiled and is only fully tested and working in the most recent release of Chrome and Firefox.

Usage

Just re-assign your generator functions to the Proxy returned by generx(<function>) and then use their instantiated values like arrays, e.g.

function* example1() {
	for(const item of [1,2,3,4,5]) {
		yield item;
	}
}
example1 = generx(example1);
const result = example1().reduce((accum,item) => accum += item); // result = 15

async function* example2() {
	for(const item of [1,2,3,4,5]) {
		yield item;
	}
}
example2 = generx(example2);
const await result = example2().reduce((accum,item) => accum += item); // result = 15

You can even pass in an asynchronous method to reduce , foreach and other functions accepting functions as arguments:

async function* example3() {
	for(const item of [1,2,3,4,5]) {
		yield item;
	}
}
example3 = generx(example3);
const await result = example3().reduce(async (accum,item) => accum += item); // result = 15

API

The below functions are currently supported:

["every", "finalize", "find", "findIndex", "forEach", "includes", "indexOf", "lastIndexOf", "map", "reduce", "reverse", "slice", "sort", "some"]
