AsyncGeneratorFunction

Try it

const AsyncGeneratorFunction = async function* () {}.constructor;

const foo = new AsyncGeneratorFunction(`
  yield await Promise.resolve('a');
  yield await Promise.resolve('b');
  yield await Promise.resolve('c');
`);

let str = "";

async function generate() {
  for await (const val of foo()) {
    str += val;
  }
  console.log(str);
}

generate();
// Expected output: "abc"

Constructor

AsyncGeneratorFunction()

Creates a new AsyncGeneratorFunction object.

Instance properties

Also inherits instance properties from its parent Function.

These properties are defined on AsyncGeneratorFunction.prototype and shared by all AsyncGeneratorFunction instances.

AsyncGeneratorFunction.prototype.constructor

The constructor function that created the instance object. For AsyncGeneratorFunction instances, the initial value is the AsyncGeneratorFunction constructor.

AsyncGeneratorFunction.prototype.prototype

All async generator functions share the same prototype property, which is AsyncGenerator.prototype. Each async generator function created with the async function* syntax or the AsyncGeneratorFunction() constructor also has its own prototype property, whose prototype is AsyncGeneratorFunction.prototype.prototype. When the async generator function is called, its prototype property becomes the prototype of the returned async generator object.

AsyncGeneratorFunction.prototype[Symbol.toStringTag]

The initial value of the [Symbol.toStringTag] property is the string "AsyncGeneratorFunction". This property is used in Object.prototype.toString().

These properties are own properties of each AsyncGeneratorFunction instance.

prototype

Used when the function is used as a constructor with the new operator. It will become the new object's prototype.

Instance methods

Inherits instance methods from its parent Function.
