The yield* expression in JavaScript is used when one wants to delegate some other iterable object. This function iterates over the particular operand and yields each value that is returned by it.
Syntax:
yield* expression;
Return Value: It returns the iterable object.
Example 1: In this example, we will see the basic use of the Javascript yield* expression.
Javascript
<script> Â Â Â Â function* func1() { Â Â Â Â Â Â yield "a"; Â Â Â Â Â Â yield "b"; Â Â Â Â Â Â yield* func3(); Â Â Â Â } Â Â Â Â function* func3() { Â Â Â Â Â Â yield "neveropen"; Â Â Â Â } Â Â Â Â function* func2() { Â Â Â Â Â Â yield* func1(); Â Â Â Â Â Â yield 4/2; Â Â Â Â Â Â yield 5/2; Â Â Â Â } Â Â Â Â const it = func2(); Â Â Â Â console.log(it.next());Â Â Â Â Â console.log(it.next());Â Â Â Â Â console.log(it.next());Â Â Â Â Â console.log(it.next());Â Â Â Â Â console.log(it.next());Â Â Â Â Â console.log(it.next());Â </script> |
Output:
{value: 'a', done: false}
{value: 'b', done: false}
{value: 'neveropen', done: false}
{value: 2, done: false}
{value: 2.5, done: false}
{value: undefined, done: true}
Example 2: Using other iterable objects with yield* in JavaScript.
Javascript
<script> Â Â Â Â function* func1() { Â Â Â Â Â Â yield* func3(1, 2, 3, 4); Â Â Â Â } Â Â Â Â function* func3(){ Â Â Â Â Â Â yield * Array.from(arguments); Â Â Â Â } Â Â Â Â function* func2(){Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â yield* func1(); Â Â Â Â Â Â yield* ["from array", "from array"]; Â Â Â Â } Â Â Â Â const it = func2(); Â Â Â Â console.log(it.next());Â Â Â Â Â console.log(it.next());Â Â Â Â Â console.log(it.next());Â Â Â Â Â console.log(it.next());Â Â Â Â Â console.log(it.next());Â Â Â Â Â console.log(it.next());Â </script> |
Output:
{value: 1, done: false}
{value: 2, done: false}
{value: 3, done: false}
{value: 4, done: false}
{value: 'from array', done: false}
{value: 'from array', done: false}
