Serializing Generators

Async iterables can also be serialized by seria. Although you can serialize them using seria.stringifyAsync we recommend using streaming otherwise we will just wait for the generator to resolve before returning the values, with streaming we don't block while generating the values.

stringifyToStream

When using seria.stringifyToStream the returning stream will emit each of the values returned from the generator.

import { stringifyToStream, parseFromStream } from "seria";

async function* range(from: number, to: number) {
  for (let i = from; i <= to; i++) {
    yield i;
  }
}

const stream = stringifyToStream(range(1, 10));
const value = await parseFromStream(stream);

for await (const item of value as any) {
  console.log(item);
}
