What are some examples of async iterators in TypeScript?

Async iterators in TypeScript allow you to work with asynchronous data streams. For example, you can create an async iterator that fetches data from an API.

Can you show me a code example of an async iterator?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

async function* fetchData() {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data');
    const data = await response.json();
    for (const item of data) {
        yield item;
    }
}

for await (const item of fetchData()) {
    console.log(item);
}

What are the benefits of using async iterators?

Async iterators provide a clean way to handle asynchronous data, allowing you to use for await...of loops, which makes your code more readable and easier to manage.

Are there any limitations to async iterators?

Yes, async iterators can only be used in environments that support ES2018 or later. Additionally, they may not be as widely supported in older browsers.
