The AsyncGeneratorFunction() constructor creates AsyncGeneratorFunction objects.
Note that AsyncGeneratorFunction is not a global object. It could be obtained by evaluating the following code.
const AsyncGeneratorFunction = async function* () {}.constructor;
The AsyncGeneratorFunction() constructor is not intended to be used directly, and all caveats mentioned in the Function() description apply to AsyncGeneratorFunction().
Syntax
new AsyncGeneratorFunction(functionBody)
new AsyncGeneratorFunction(arg1, functionBody)
new AsyncGeneratorFunction(arg1, arg2, functionBody)
new AsyncGeneratorFunction(arg1, arg2, /* …, */ argN, functionBody)
AsyncGeneratorFunction(functionBody)
AsyncGeneratorFunction(arg1, functionBody)
AsyncGeneratorFunction(arg1, arg2, functionBody)
AsyncGeneratorFunction(arg1, arg2, /* …, */ argN, functionBody)
Note:
AsyncGeneratorFunction()can be called with or withoutnew. Both create a newAsyncGeneratorFunctioninstance.
Parameters
See Function().
Examples
Using the constructor
The following example uses the AsyncGeneratorFunction constructor to create an async generator function.
const AsyncGeneratorFunction = async function* () {}.constructor;
const createAsyncGenerator = new AsyncGeneratorFunction("a", "yield a * 2");
const asyncGen = createAsyncGenerator(10);
asyncGen.next().then((res) => console.log(res.value)); // 20
