JS Iterator

Create Custom Iterator next : () =>

function iterator(){
    let step = 0;

    return {
        next : ()=>{
            step ++;
            if (step ==1 ){
                return {value : 'cake', done : false};
            }
            if (step ==2  ){
                return {value : 'yogurt', done : false};
            }
            if (step == 3) {
                return {value : 'bread', done : false};
            }
            else{
                return {value : undefined, done :true}
            }
        }
    };
}

const it = iterator();
console.log(it);    // { next: [Function: next] }
console.log(it.next()); // {value : 'cake', done : false};
console.log(it.next()); // {value : 'yogurt', done : false};
console.log(it.next());  // {value : 'bread', done : false};
console.log(it.next());  // {value : undefined, done :true}

The same result for next(){} below

function iterator(){
    let step = 0;

    return {
        next() {
            step ++;
            if (step ==1 ){
                return {value : 'cake', done : false};
            }
            if (step ==2  ){
                return {value : 'yogurt', done : false};
            }
            if (step == 3) {
                return {value : 'bread', done : false};
            }
            else{
                return {value : undefined, done :true}
            }
        }
    };
}

• Output

console.log(...my_it);  // cake yogurt bread

with this

        next() {
