> Use JavaScript Iterator, Easily
**iterize** is a minimalistic creator for the iterator. A great feature called Iterator was added into JavaScript. However, it's a strange concept for most of the front-end developers.
**iterize** helps you create your code more easily and efficiently using the various attributes of the Iterable Protocol.
## Why Powerful?
#### Lazy Evaluation
An array does not need to be allocated to memory on compile-time, nor does it need to be declared explicitly. You can let it be calculated on run-time, or any time you want it to be used.
#### Expressing Infinity
It was not easy to express the concept of infinity using the conventional syntax of JavaScript. **iterize** can help you express this concept effectively.
#### Reuse
Most functions of **iterize** are implemented as Higher-Order Functions. You can improve your productivity by reusing the functions you have already implemented before.
# Install
```bash
$ npm install iterize --save
```
You can import **iterize** using ESModule style.
```js
import * as iterize from 'iterize';
```
```js
import {range} from 'iterize';
```
If you want to use [UMD](https://github.com/umdjs/umd), please import `dist/iterize.umd.js` on your html file.

# API
- [Range](https://github.com/hg-pyun/iterize#range)
- [Cycle](https://github.com/hg-pyun/iterize#cycle)
- [Repeat](https://github.com/hg-pyun/iterize#repeat)
- [Take](https://github.com/hg-pyun/iterize#take)
## Range
Returns a transmitter that increases with some steps within a certain range.
#### Interface
```typescript
range(start: number, end?: number, step?: number | Function): Iterator
```
#### Example
You can use with `for-of` syntax.
```js
import {range} from 'iterize';
for (let number of range(5)) {
console.log(number); // 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
}
for (let number of range(0, 5)) {
console.log(number); // 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
}
for (let number of range(0, 5, 2)) {
console.log(number); // 0, 2, 4
}
```
With the spread operator.
```js
import {range} from 'iterize';
[...range(5)]; // [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
[...range(0, 5)]; // [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
[...range(5, 0)]; // [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
[...range(1, 10, 1)]; // [1, 2, 3 ... 9]
[...range(1, 10, x => x + 1)]; // [1, 2, 3 ... 9]
[...range(2, 64, x => x * x)]; // [2, 4, 16]
```
## Cycle
#### Interface
Receives a string, an array or an iterator and returns an emitter that repeats infinitely.
```typescript
cycle(item: string | Array | Iterator): Iterator
```
#### Example
```js
import {cycle} from 'iterize';
const iter = cycle('ABCD');
iter.next(); // { value: 'A', done: false }
iter.next(); // { value: 'B', done: false }
iter.next(); // { value: 'C', done: false }
iter.next(); // { value: 'D', done: false }
iter.next(); // { value: 'A', done: false }
iter.next(); // { value: 'B', done: false }
...
```
```js
import {cycle} from 'iterize';
const iter = cycle([0, 1, 2]);
iter.next(); // { value: 0, done: false }
iter.next(); // { value: 1, done: false }
iter.next(); // { value: 2, done: false }
iter.next(); // { value: 0, done: false }
iter.next(); // { value: 1, done: false }
iter.next(); // { value: 2, done: false }
...
```
`Cycle` can also receive a range iterator.
```js
import {cycle, range} from 'iterize';
const rangeIterator = range(0, 5, 2);
const iter = cycle(rangeIterator);
iter.next(); // { value: 0, done: false }
iter.next(); // { value: 2, done: false }
iter.next(); // { value: 4, done: false }
iter.next(); // { value: 0, done: false }
iter.next(); // { value: 2, done: false }
iter.next(); // { value: 4, done: false }
iter.next(); // { value: 0, done: false }
...
```
## Repeat
Returns the N copies of the input(number, string, or iterator).
#### Interface
```typescript
repeat(item: number | string | Function | Iterator, count: number): Iterator
```
#### Example
```js
import {repeat} from 'iterize';
for (let number of repeat(1, 3)) {
console.log(number); // [1, 1, 1]
}
```
With the spread operator.
```js
import {repeat} from 'iterize';
[...repeat(0, 5)]; // [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[...repeat('a', 5)]; // ['a', 'a', 'a', 'a', 'a']
```
```js
import {repeat, range} from 'iterize';
const rangeIterator = range(1, 5, 1);
[...repeat(rangeIterator, 2)]; // [1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4]
```
## Take
Returns the first N items of the iterator sequentially.
#### Interface
```typescript
take(predicate: number, iter: Iterator): Iterator
```
#### Example
```js
import {take, cycle} from 'iterize';
const cycleIterator = cycle([1, 2, 3]);
for (let number of take(5, cycleIterator)) {
console.log(number); // 1, 2, 3, 1, 2
}
```
#### Interface
```typescript
takeWhile(predicate: Function, iter: Iterator): Iterator
```
#### Example
```js
import {takeWhile, range} from 'iterize';
for (let number of takeWhile(x => x < 3, range(5))) {
console.log(number); // 0, 1, 2
}
```
