Async Iterators for Big Data Sets

Iterators are great for looping through data sets. If you have an array then it has a built-in iterator. Objects can have a custom iterator built for them.
What if your dataset is too big to fit inside your Array? What if it takes up too much memory? With an Asynchronous Iterator you can load the data in chunks.
The for...of loop will have an await capability soon. However, we can already mimic the behaviour by creating an asynchronous function and calling it recursively.

Another very cool tutorial!

[@marcelvansanten8247]

Why is the output.textContent displayed as [object Object] when the Json data is stringified in the iterator?

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

If you are using the console.log statements as I have them in my code for the contents of data.value then it shouldn't show [object Object]. If you have written a different console.log statement then it could be an object that is being selected.

quite confusing that "symbol and iterator and next" terms in this video and previous one was quite incomprehendable

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

custom iterators are not a beginner topic.

Is this considered "backend" programming?

[@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3]

The API, the database, the code that sends the data from the database is the backend programming. What I'm doing in this video to fetch the data is still client side / front end programming.
