## Install

```
$ npm install permutation-iterator
```

## Usage

### Array

```js
const permutationIterator = require('permutation-iterator');

const it = permutationIterator(['a', 'b', 'c']);

it.next(); // => { value: ['a', 'b', 'c'], done: false }
it.next(); // => { value: ['b', 'a', 'c'], done: false }
it.next(); // => { value: ['c', 'a', 'b'], done: false }
it.next(); // => { value: ['a', 'c', 'b'], done: false }
it.next(); // => { value: ['b', 'c', 'a'], done: false }
it.next(); // => { value: ['c', 'b', 'a'], done: false }
it.next(); // => { value: undefined, done: true }
```

### Object

```js
const it = permutationIterator({
1: 'a',
2: 'b',
3: 'c'
});

// Same bahavior as arrays
it.next(); // => { value: ['a', 'b', 'c'], done: false }
```
