The well-known
Symbol.iterator
symbol specifies the default iterator for an object. Used by
for...of
.

Whenever an object needs to be iterated (such as at the beginning of a
for..of
loop), its
@@iterator
method is called with no arguments, and the returned
iterator
is used to obtain the values to be iterated.
Some built-in types have a default iteration behavior, while other types (such as
Object
) do not. The built-in types with a
@@iterator
method are:
Array.prototype[@@iterator]()
TypedArray.prototype[@@iterator]()
String.prototype[@@iterator]()
Map.prototype[@@iterator]()
Set.prototype[@@iterator]()

We can make our own iterables like this:
var myIterable = {}
myIterable[Symbol.iterator] = function* () {
yield 1;
yield 2;
yield 3;
};
[...myIterable] // [1, 2, 3]
Or iterables can be defined directly inside a class or object using a computed property :
class Foo {
*[Symbol.iterator] () {
yield 1;
yield 2;
yield 3;
}
}
const someObj = {
*[Symbol.iterator] () {
yield 'a';
yield 'b';
}
}
[...new Foo] // [ 1, 2, 3 ]
[...someObj] // [ 'a', 'b' ]
If an iterable's
@@iterator
method does not return an iterator object, then it is a non-well-formed iterable. Using it as such is likely to result in runtime exceptions or buggy behavior:
var nonWellFormedIterable = {}
nonWellFormedIterable[Symbol.iterator] = () => 1
[...nonWellFormedIterable] // TypeError: [] is not a function
