I have been using this syntax to generate unique IDs:
let i = 0;
function* getUID() {
while(true) yield i++;
}
const x = getUID()
export default x
And have been generating value as shown below:
const id1 = x.next().value; // 0
const id2 = x.next().value; // 1
const id3 = x.next().value; // 2
I am interested in knowing how does this whole setup work what does * do, how does yield return a value when we don't use a return keyword, what's the significance of using while(true) can't yield keep returning the value without while statement?
