Does node.js support yield?

Question

Is there any way to get generators into node.js?

I\'m currently faking them with callbacks, but I have to remember to check the response of the callback inside of my gen

Answer 1

Yes and no.

var myGen = (function () {
    var i = 0;
    return function () {
        i++; return i; }
})();
var i;
while ((i = myGen()) < 100 ) {
    do something; }

As you see, you can implement something like one using closures, but it does not have native generators.
