Using IAsyncEnumerable with Dapper

问题

We have recently migrated our ASP.NET Core API which uses Dapper to .NET Core 3.1. After the migration, we felt there was an opportunity to use the latest IAsyncEnumerable feature from C# 8 for one of our endpoints.

Here is the pseudocode before the changes:

public async Task<IEnumerable<Item>> GetItems(int id)
{
    var reader = await _connection.QueryMultipleAsync(getItemsSql,
       param: new
       {
           Id = id
       });

    var idFromDb = (await reader.ReadAsync<int?>().ConfigureAwait(false)).SingleOrDefault();
    if (idFromDb == null)
    {
       return null;
    }

    var items = await reader.ReadAsync<Item>(buffered: false).ConfigureAwait(false);

    return Stream(reader, items);
} 

private IEnumerable<Item> Stream(SqlMapper.GridReader reader, IEnumerable<Item> items)
{
    using (reader)
    {
        foreach (var item in items)
        {
            yield return item;
        }
    }     
}

After IAsyncEnumerable code changes:

// Import Nuget pacakage: System.Linq.Async

public async Task<IAsyncEnumerable<Item>> GetItems(int id)
{
    var reader = await _connection.QueryMultipleAsync(getItemsSql,
       param: new
       {
           Id = id
       });

    var idFromDb = (await reader.ReadAsync<int?>().ConfigureAwait(false)).SingleOrDefault();
    if (idFromDb == null)
    {
        return null;
    }

    var items = await reader.ReadAsync<Item>(buffered: false).ConfigureAwait(false);

    return Stream(reader, items);
} 

private IAsyncEnumerable<Item> Stream(SqlMapper.GridReader reader, IEnumerable<Item> items)
{
    using (reader)
    {
       await foreach (var item in items.ToAsyncEnumerable())
       {
           yield return item;
       }
    }
 }

The above approach is to use ToAsyncEnumerable is loosely inspired from this post, but I'm not 100% sure if I'm using it in the right place/ context.

Question:

• The dapper library only returns IEnumerable but can we use ToAsyncEnumerable to convert it into IAsyncEnumerable for async stream like above?

Note: This question looks similar to What happens with returning IEnumerable if used with async/await (streaming data from SQL Server with Dapper)? but I do not think that answers my question.
