Regenerator: meaning, definitions and examples

⚙️

Add to dictionary

regenerator

[ rɪˈdʒɛnəˌreɪtə ]

Noun

^{Context #1 | Noun}

software development

A tool or library used to transform generator functions into normal functions in JavaScript. It allows for asynchronous programming to be written in a synchronous style.

Synonyms

async converter, generator transformer.

Which Synonym Should You Choose?

Word	Description / Examples
regenerator	Can also refer to organisms or cells that are capable of regenerating tissue, typically used in biological contexts. Starfish are fascinating examples of regenerators, as they can grow back lost arms
generator transformer	Pertains to a machine or device in electrical engineering that changes the voltage and current of electricity coming from a generator, commonly used in power stations. The generator transformer steps up the voltage to reduce power loss during transmission over long distances
async converter	Refers to a component or module in programming or electronics that handles asynchronous data conversions, dealing with data that comes at irregular intervals. When working with APIs, an async converter can help manage data flow without blocking the main thread

Etymology

The term 'regenerator' in the context of software development originated from the need to address the limitations of generator functions in JavaScript. With the introduction of regenerator tools and libraries, developers were able to overcome the asynchronous nature of generator functions and write code in a more synchronous style. The concept of regenerator has since become a common practice in modern JavaScript development, allowing for more readable and maintainable code.
