Polyfill for generators for ES5 with TypeScript












1















I'm trying to make generators and iterations working with TypeScript for ES5. I'm using the following compiler options.



"target": "es5",
"lib": [
"DOM",
"ES5",
"ScriptHost",
"es2015.iterable" // Fixes "Cannot find global type 'IterableIterator'."
],
"downlevelIteration": true // Fixes "Type 'IterableIterator<number> is not an array type or a string type."


In my test class I have:



public test = () => {
for (const i of this.generator(1)) {
console.log(i);
break;
}
}

*generator(count: number) {
while (true)
yield count++;
}


In newer browser this works but with older ones undefined is logged. The docs say




...this requires a native Symbol.iterator or Symbol.iterator shim at runtime for any non-array values.




How do I get this?

  • Google tells me this should contain a working shim: github.com/medikoo/es6-symbol

  • @Marv Seems this requires a bundler unfortunately.

  • You can load polyfills without bundler from polyfill.io
