GenSequence

Small library to simplify working with Generators and Iterators in Javascript / Typescript

Javascript Iterators and Generators are very exciting and provide some powerful new ways to solve programming problems.

The purpose of this library is to make using the results of a generator function easier. It is not intended as a replacement for arrays and the convenient [...genFn()] notation. GenSequence is useful for cases where you might not want an array of all possible values. GenSequence deals efficiently with large sequences because only one element at a time is evaluated. Intermediate arrays are not created, saving memory and cpu cycles.

Installation

npm install -S gensequence

Usage

import { genSequence } from 'gensequence';

Examples

Fibonacci

The Fibonacci sequence can be very simply expressed using a generator. Yet using the result of a generator can be a bit convoluted. GenSequence provides a wrapper to add familiar functionality similar to arrays.
