Each time when an async generator function is called, it returns a new <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/AsyncGenerator"><code>AsyncGenerator</code></a> object, which conforms to the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Iteration_protocols#the_async_iterator_and_async_iterable_protocols">async iterator protocol</a>. Every call to <code>next()</code> returns a <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise"><code>Promise</code></a> that resolves to the iterator result object.</p> <p>An async generator function combines the features of <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/async_function">async functions</a> and <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/function*">generator functions</a>. You can use both the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/await"><code>await</code></a> and <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/yield"><code>yield</code></a> keywords within the function body. This empowers you to handle asynchronous tasks ergonomically with <code>await</code>, while leveraging the lazy nature of generator functions.</p> <p>When a promise is yielded from an async generator, the iterator result promise's eventual state will match that of the yielded promise. For example:</p> <div class="code-example"><div class="example-header"><span class="language-name">js</span></div><pre class="brush: js notranslate"><code>async function* foo() { yield Promise.reject(1); } foo() .next() .catch((e) => console.error(e)); </code></pre></div> <p><code>1</code> will be logged, because if the yielded promise rejects, the iterator result will reject as well. The <code>value</code> property of an async generator's resolved result will not be another promise.</p> <p><code>async function*</code> declarations behave similar to <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/function"><code>function</code></a> declarations — they are <a href="/en-US/docs/Glossary/Hoisting">hoisted</a> to the top of their scope and can be called anywhere in their scope, and they can be redeclared only in certain contexts.</p></div></section><section aria-labelledby="examples"><h2 id="examples"><a href="#examples">Examples</a></h2><div class="section-content"></div></section><section aria-labelledby="declaring_an_async_generator_function"><h3 id="declaring_an_async_generator_function"><a href="#declaring_an_async_generator_function">Declaring an async generator function</a></h3><div class="section-content"><p>Async generator functions always produce promises of results — even when each <code>yield</code> step is synchronous.</p> <div class="code-example"><div class="example-header"><span class="language-name">js</span></div><pre class="brush: js notranslate"><code>async function* myGenerator(step) { await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 10)); yield 0; yield step; yield step * 2; } const gen = myGenerator(2); gen .next() .then((res) => { console.log(res); // { value: 0, done: false } return gen.next(); }) .then((res) => { console.log(res); // { value: 2, done: false } return gen.next(); }) .then((res) => { console.log(res); // { value: 4, done: false } return gen.next(); }) .then((res) => { console.log(res); // { value: undefined, done: true } return gen.next(); }); </code></pre></div></div></section><section aria-labelledby="using_an_async_generator_function_to_read_a_series_of_files"><h3 id="using_an_async_generator_function_to_read_a_series_of_files"><a href="#using_an_async_generator_function_to_read_a_series_of_files">Using an async generator function to read a series of files</a></h3><div class="section-content"><p>In this example, we read a series of files and only access its content when requested, using Node's <a href="https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v18.x/docs/api/fs.html" class="external" target="_blank"><code>fs/promises</code></a> module.</p> <div class="code-example"><div class="example-header"><span class="language-name">js</span></div><pre class="brush: js notranslate"><code>async function* readFiles(directory) { const files = await fs.readdir(directory); for (const file of files) { const stats = await fs.stat(file); if (stats.isFile()) { yield { name: file, content: await fs.readFile(file, "utf8"), }; } } } const files = readFiles("."); console.log((await files.next()).value); // Possible output: { name: 'file1.txt', content: '...' } console.log((await files.next()).value); // Possible output: { name: 'file2.txt', content: '...' } </code></pre></div></div></section><h2 id="specifications"><a href="#specifications">Specifications</a></h2><table class="standard-table"><thead><tr><th scope="col">Specification</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><a href="https://tc39.es/ecma262/multipage/ecmascript-language-functions-and-classes.html#sec-async-generator-function-definitions">ECMAScript® 2025 Language Specification <br/><small># sec-async-generator-function-definitions</small></a></td></tr></tbody></table><h2 id="browser_compatibility"><a href="#browser_compatibility">Browser compatibility</a></h2><p>BCD tables only load in the browser<noscript> with JavaScript enabled.

Each time when an async generator function is called, it returns a new <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/AsyncGenerator\"><code>AsyncGenerator</code></a> object, which conforms to the <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Iteration_protocols#the_async_iterator_and_async_iterable_protocols\">async iterator protocol</a>. Every call to <code>next()</code> returns a <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise\"><code>Promise</code></a> that resolves to the iterator result object.</p>\n<p>An async generator function combines the features of <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/async_function\">async functions</a> and <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/function*\">generator functions</a>. You can use both the <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/await\"><code>await</code></a> and <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/yield\"><code>yield</code></a> keywords within the function body. This empowers you to handle asynchronous tasks ergonomically with <code>await</code>, while leveraging the lazy nature of generator functions.</p>\n<p>When a promise is yielded from an async generator, the iterator result promise's eventual state will match that of the yielded promise.

The <code>value</code> property of an async generator's resolved result will not be another promise.</p>\n<p><code>async function*</code> declarations behave similar to <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/function\"><code>function</code></a> declarations — they are <a href=\"/en-US/docs/Glossary/Hoisting\">hoisted</a> to the top of their scope and
