Generator Not Evaluating Promises

Why doesn't the generator wait for the asynchronous prm promise to complete before moving on to the next yield? function *verify() { try { let prm = new Promise((resolv

Solution 1:

Because a generator - on its own - doesn't wait for anything. It just emits what you were yielding from the next() call. You could of course have your loop wait when before calling next again when it gets a promise.

What you are thinking of is async/await. You want to write

asyncfunctionverify() {
    try {
        let prm = newPromise((resolve,reject) => {
            resolve("abc");
        })
        let k = await prm
        console.log(k)
        console.log("1")
        console.log("2")
        console.log("3")
    } catch (err) {
        console.log("error")
    }
}

var prm = verify();
