One eXtremely Useful Tool Library to facilitate using async iterators.

Install

npm install --save-dev @xutl/aim

Usage

import aim from '@xutl/aim';

const iter : AsyncIterator<T> = getIterator(); // assume you have an AsyncIterator

const cool = aim(iter);

// This can now do one of
await cool.each((item, index)=>console.log(`${index}:`, item));
const mappediterator = cool.map<X>((item: T, index:number):Promise<X>=>convertTtoX(item)); // returns another async iterator that has the mapped values;
const filterediterator = cool.filter((item: T, index:number):Promise<boolean=>test(item)); // returns another async iterator that is filtered by the predicate
await cool.reduce((agg: A, item: T)=>aggregate(agg, item) as A, original: A); // returns the aggregate

// ---
function liveStatistics(AsyncIterator<number> iter) : { count: number, sum: number, average: number } {
    const result = { sum: 0, average: 0, done?:Promise<void> };
    result.done = aim(iter).each((value, index)=>{
        result.sum += value;
        result.average = result.sum / (index+1);
    });
    return result;
}
