How can a Javascript object become iterable with for…of statement? [duplicate]

Answer 1

To use for...of loop you should define an appropriate iterator for your object using [Symbol.iterator] key.

Here is one possible implementation:

let options = {
  male: 'John',
  female: 'Gina',
  rel: 'Love',
  [Symbol.iterator]: function * () {
    for (let key in this) {
      yield [key, this[key]] // yield [key, value] pair
    }
  }
}

Though, in most cases it'll be better to iterate over objects using plain for...in loop instead.

Alternatively you could convert your object to iterable array using Object.keys, Object.values or Object.entries (ES7).
