Iterators for OCaml, both restartable and consumable. The implementation keeps a good balance between simplicity and performance.
The library is extensively tested using qtest. If you find a bug,
please report!
The documentation can be found here the main module is Gen and should suffice for 95% of use cases.
Installation in a native OCaml project, via opam:
$ opam install gen
or, manually, by building the library and running make install. Opam is
recommended, for it keeps the library up-to-date.
Installation in JavaScript, via BuckleScript, in an npm project:
Install this package:
$ npm install bs-gen
Manually add bs-gen to your bsconfig.json's bs-dependencies:
"bs-dependencies": [
...
"bs-gen"
],
You can either build and install the library (see "Build"), or just copy files to your own project. The last solution has the benefits that you don't have additional dependencies nor build complications (and it may enable more inlining).
If you have comments, requests, or bugfixes, please share them! :-)
There are no dependencies except for dune for building. This should work with OCaml>=4.02
$ make
To build and run tests (requires oUnit and qtest):
$ opam install oUnit qtest
$ make test
