Implementing an async iterator in TypeScript

TypeScriptAsync IterationAsyncIterablesadvanced

What this snippet does

Implementing Symbol.asyncIterator allows an object to be consumed by for-await-of loops, yielding values asynchronously.

Expected output

Stream {}

Why practise typing this

Typing async iteration code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation TypeScript uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
