co模块源码分析¶

yield语句及其之前是一部分，yield语句之后是next的部分

用法¶

比如有一个Generator函数，用于一次读取两个文件：

var gen = function* (){
    var f1 = yield readFile('/src')
    var f2 = yield readFile('/src')
    console.log(f1.toString())
    console.log(f2.toString())
}

co函数库可以让你不用编写Generator函数的执行器

var co = require('co') // 引入co库
co(gen)

co函数返回的是一个promise对象，因此可以用then方法添加回调函数

co(gen).then(()=>{
    console.log('Generator函数执行完成')
})

co函数库的原理¶

为什么co可以自动执行Generator函数？

Generator函数本质上就是一个异步操作的容器，他的自动执行需要一种机制，当异步操作有了结果，能够自动交回执行权。

两种方法可以做到这一点;

回调函数。将同步操作包装秤Thunk函数，在回调函数里面交回执行权。
Promise对象。将异步操作包装成Promise对象，用then方法交回执行权。

co函数库其实就是将两种自动执行器（Thunk函数和Promise对象），包装成一个库，使用co的前提条件是，Generator函数的yield 命令后面，只能是Thunk函数或者是Pomise对象。

co源码¶

具体实现逻辑，我会加上一些自己的理解

/**
 * slice() reference.
 */

var slice = Array.prototype.slice;

/**
 * Expose `co`.
 */

module.exports = co['default'] = co.co = co;

/**
 * Wrap the given generator `fn` into a
 * function that returns a promise.
 * This is a separate function so that
 * every `co()` call doesn't create a new,
 * unnecessary closure.
 *
 * @param {GeneratorFunction} fn
 * @return {Function}
 * @api public
 */

co.wrap = function (fn) {
  createPromise.__generatorFunction__ = fn;
  return createPromise;
  function createPromise() {
    return co.call(this, fn.apply(this, arguments));
  }
};

/**
 * Execute the generator function or a generator
 * and return a promise.
 *

 * @return {Promise}

function co(gen) {
  var ctx = this;
  var args = slice.call(arguments, 1);

  // we wrap everything in a promise to avoid promise chaining,
  // which leads to memory leak errors.
  // see https://github.com/tj/co/issues/180
  return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
    if (typeof gen === 'function') gen = gen.apply(ctx, args);

    onFulfilled();
