Why Iterable / AsyncIterable are not valid body?Β #2392
Open
Description
What would you like to discuss?
Hello,
Currently, the request body
option can be, among others types, Generator
/ AsyncGenerator
:
https://github.com/sindresorhus/got/blob/a7b5aec57a0245cafbd21696d52cd6bd6c95628a/source/core/options.ts#L1306-1311
These bodies are used like anything implementing the Iterable
/ AsyncIterable
protocol, via a simple for await..of
loop:
Lines 969 to 980 in a7b5aec
So, the question is: Why not using the more generic Iterable
/ AsyncIterable
instead of Generator
/ AsyncGenerator
, as the differences should be very minor? Is there a limitation somewhere, preventing to do that?
Another benefit would be supporting the web ReadableStream
s directly, with no prior conversion.
