@babel/plugin-proposal-function-sent

Example

function* generator() {
    console.log("Sent", function.sent);
    console.log("Yield", yield);
}
const iterator = generator();
iterator.next(1); // Logs "Sent 1"
iterator.next(2); // Logs "Yield 2"

Is compiled roughly to

let generator = _skipFirstGeneratorNext(function* () {
    const _functionSent = yield;
    console.log("Sent", _functionSent);
    console.log("Yield", yield);
});
const iterator = generator();
iterator.next(1); // Logs "Sent 1"
iterator.next(2); // Logs "Yield 2"

Installation

npm install --save-dev @babel/plugin-proposal-function-sent
