<p><code><strong>function*</strong></code> 宣告式（<code>function</code> 關鍵字後面跟著一個星號）定義了一個<em>生成器函式（generator function）</em>，他會回傳一個{{jsxref("Global_Objects/Generator","生成器（Generator）")}}物件。</p>

<p>生成器是可以離開後再次進入的函式。在兩次進入之間，生成器的執行狀態（變數綁定狀態）會被儲存。</p>

<p>呼叫生成器函式並不會讓裡面的程式碼立即執行，而是會回傳一個針對該函式的<a href="/zh-TW/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Iteration_protocols#iterator">迭代器（iterator）</a>物件。當呼叫迭代器的 <code>next()</code> 方法時，生成器函式將會執行到遭遇的第一個 {{jsxref("Operators/yield", "yield")}} 運算式，該運算式給定的值將從迭代器中回傳，如果是 {{jsxref("Operators/yield*", "yield*")}} 則會交給另一個生成器函式處理。<code>next()</code> 方法回傳一個物件，該物件有 <code>value</code> 屬性，包含了產生的數值，還有 <code>done</code> 屬性，為布林值，指出該生成器是否產出最後的數值。呼叫 <code>next()</code> 方法如果帶有一個參數，將會讓先前暫停的生成器函式恢復執行，以該參數值取代先前暫停的 <code>yield</code> 陳述式。</p>

<p>生成器中的 <code>return</code> 陳述式被執行時，會讓生成器 <code>done</code> 狀態為真。若有數值被返回的動作帶回，將是放在 <code>value</code> 傳回的。已返回的生成器不會再產生任何數值。</p>

<h2 id="Firefox_規範註記">Firefox 規範註記</h2>

<h4 id="Generators_and_iterators_in_Firefox_versions_before_26">Generators and iterators in Firefox versions before 26</h4>

<p>Older Firefox versions implement an older version of the generators proposal. In the older version, generators were defined using a regular <code>function</code> keyword (without an asterisk) among other differences. See <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/Legacy_generator_function">Legacy generator function </a>for further information.</p>

<h4 id="IteratorResult_object_returned_instead_of_throwing"><code>IteratorResult</code> object returned instead of throwing</h4>

<p>Starting with Gecko 29 {{geckoRelease(29)}}, the completed generator function no longer throws a {{jsxref("TypeError")}} "generator has already finished". Instead, it returns an <code>IteratorResult</code> object like <code>{ value: undefined, done: true }</code> ({{bug(958951)}}).</p>
