Quick example of how to use a async generator to get a repository's labels

get-repo-labels-generator.js

const { Octokit } = require('@octokit/rest');
const { throttling } = require('@octokit/plugin-throttling');
const OctokitThrottling = Octokit.plugin(throttling);


const octokit = new OctokitThrottling({

  throttle: {
    onRateLimit: (retryAfter, options) => {
      octokit.log.warn(
        `Request quota exhausted for request ${options.method} ${options.url}`
      );

      if (options.request.retryCount === 0) {
        // only retries once
        console.log(`Retrying after ${retryAfter} seconds!`);
        return true;
      }
    },
    onAbuseLimit: (retryAfter, options) => {
      // does not retry, only logs a warning
      octokit.log.warn(
        `Abuse detected for request ${options.method} ${options.url}`
      );
    },
  },
});

async function* getLabels(owner, repoName) {
  let hasNextPage = true;
  let cursor = null;
  while(hasNextPage) {
    const {repository} = await octokit.graphql(`
      query($cursor: String, $owner: String!, $name: String!) {
          repository(owner:$owner, name:$name) {
            labels(first: 5, after: $cursor) {
              nodes {
                id
                name
              }
              pageInfo {
                endCursor
                hasNextPage
              }
            }
          }
        }
      `,
      {
        cursor,
        owner,
        name: repoName

    for (let label of repository.labels.nodes) {
      yield label;
    }

}

(async () => {
  let generator = getLabels("froi", "horas");

  for await( let labels of generator) {
