regenerator-runtime

regenerator-runtime

Standalone runtime for Regenerator-compiled generator and async functions.

To import the runtime as a module (recommended), either of the following import styles will work:

// CommonJS
const regeneratorRuntime = require("regenerator-runtime");

// ECMAScript 2015
import regeneratorRuntime from "regenerator-runtime";

To ensure that regeneratorRuntime is defined globally, either of the following styles will work:

// CommonJS
require("regenerator-runtime/runtime");

// ECMAScript 2015
import "regenerator-runtime/runtime.js";

To get the absolute file system path of runtime.js, evaluate the following expression:

require("regenerator-runtime/path").path
