TypedArray.prototype[@@iterator]()
The [@@iterator]()
method of TypedArray
instances implements the iterable protocol and allows typed arrays to be consumed by most syntaxes expecting iterables, such as the spread syntax and for...of
loops. It returns an array iterator object that yields the value of each index in the typed array.
The initial value of this property is the same function object as the initial value of the TypedArray.prototype.values
property.
Syntax
typedArray[Symbol.iterator]()
Iteration using for...of loop
Note that you seldom need to call this method directly. The existence of the @@iterator
method makes typed arrays iterable, and iterating syntaxes like the for...of
loop automatically call this method to obtain the iterator to loop over.
const arr = new Uint8Array([10, 20, 30, 40, 50]);
for (const n of arr) {
console.log(n);
}
Manually hand-rolling the iterator
You may still manually call the next()
method of the returned iterator object to achieve maximum control over the iteration process.
const arr = new Uint8Array([10, 20, 30, 40, 50]);
const arrIter = arr[Symbol.iterator]();
console.log(arrIter.next().value);
console.log(arrIter.next().value);
console.log(arrIter.next().value);
console.log(arrIter.next().value);
console.log(arrIter.next().value);
