Typescript do notation (using generator functions)

do.ts

// user: Either<string, { name: string, age: number }>
const user = doEither(function*() {
  // name: string
  const name = yield* Right("test")
  // age: number
  const age = Math.random() > 0.5 ? yield* Right(100) : yield* Left("oopsies")
  return {
     name,
     age
  }
})

index.ts

// user: Either<string, { name: string, age: number }>
const user = doEither(function*() {
  // name: string
  const name = yield* Right("test")
  // age: number
  const age = Math.random() > 0.5 ? yield* Right(100) : yield* Left("oopsies")
  return {
     name,
     age
  }
})

z.ts

function doEither<
    R,
    Ftr extends Either<any, any>,
    L = Ftr extends Either<infer L, any> ? L : never
  >(
    fun: () => Generator<Ftr, R, any>
  ): Either<L, R> {
    const iterator = fun()
    const state = iterator.next()
    function run(state: any): any {
      if (state.done) {
        return Right(state.value)
      }
      return state.value.chain((val: any) => {
        return run(iterator.next(val))
      })
    }
    return run(state)
  }

export interface Either<L,R> {
    [Symbol.iterator]: () => Iterator<Either<L, R>, R, any>
}  


Either.prototype[Symbol.iterator] = function*() {
   return (yield this) as any
}

Cool :) somehow reminds me of Rust stuff https://docs.rs/either/1.6.1/either/enum.Either.html

Yep, it's trying to bring the functional "do notation" to Typescript so we can use it in monadic structures like Either, Promise, Array, etc. Rust seems to be able to have do notation with macros
