usage

gean(function * () {
  // flow control here
});

gean accept a GeneratorFunction and returns a Promise that allow for composability.

example

We can use gean to create simple a fetch function backed by superagent. We'll use it to read from the randomuser API and sum the number of male and female gender entries per user.

import agent from 'superagent';
import gean from 'gean';

const fetch = uri => new Promise((yep, nope) => {
  agent.get(uri).end((err, res) ? nope(err) : yep(res));
};

gean(function * () {
  const uri = 'https://randomuser.me/api?results=10';
  const res = yield fetch(uri);
  const users = res.body.results;
  const counter = {female: 0, male: 0};

  for (let user of users)
    counter[user.gender]++;

  console.log(counter)
  // { female: 8, male: 2 }
});
