@stdlib/symbol-iterator

About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

Iterator Symbol

Iterator symbol which specifies the default iterator for an object.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/symbol-iterator

Usage

var IteratorSymbol = require( '@stdlib/symbol-iterator' );

IteratorSymbol

Iterator symbol which specifies the default iterator for an object.

var s = typeof IteratorSymbol;
// e.g., returns 'symbol'

Notes

• The symbol is only supported in environments which support symbols. In non-supporting environments, the value is null.

Examples

var IteratorSymbol = require( '@stdlib/symbol-iterator' );

var obj;
var v;

function iterator() {
    var iter;
    var i;

    i = -1;

    iter = {};
    iter.next = next;
    iter.return = done;

    if ( IteratorSymbol ) {
        // Allow the iterator to work with `for...of`:
        iter[ IteratorSymbol ] = iterator;
    }
    return iter;

    function next() {
        i += 1;
        return {
            'value': i,
            'done': false
        };
    }

    function done( value ) {
        if ( arguments.length === 0 ) {
            return {
                'done': true
            };
        }
        return {
            'value': value,
            'done': true
        };
    }
}

obj = iterator();
while ( v === void 0 || ( v.value < 10 && v.done === false ) ) {
    v = obj.next();
    console.log( v.value );
}
