Create sync/async APIs with usable logic.

**Quan**tum + **Sync** - "_Superposition_" between `sync` and `async`.

- Typesafe
- ESM, modern JavaScript
- Zero dependencies

Heavily inspired by [`genasync`](https://github.com/loganfsmyth/gensync) by [@loganfsmyth](https://github.com/loganfsmyth).

## Usage

```bash
pnpm i quansync
```

```ts
import fs from 'node:fs'
import { quansync } from 'quansync'

// Create a quansync function by providing `sync` and `async` implementations
const readFile = quansync({
  sync: (path: string) => fs.readFileSync(path),
  async: (path: string) => fs.promises.readFile(path),
})

// Create a quansync function by providing a generator function
const myFunction = quansync(function* (filename) {
  // Use `yield*` to call another quansync function
  const code = yield* readFile(filename, 'utf8')

  return `// some custom prefix\n${code}`
})

// Use it as a sync function
const result = myFunction.sync('./some-file.js')

// Use it as an async function
const asyncResult = await myFunction.async('./some-file.js')
```

## Why

## How it works

// TODO:

## Benchmark

Run the following command to benchmark the performance of `quansync`:

```bash
pnpm run build && pnpm run benchmark
```

Benchmark results indicate that each `yield` incurs an overhead of
approximately 150 ns, comparable to that of `await sync()`. (On Apple M1 Max)

## Build-time Macro

If you don't like the `function*` and `yield*` syntax, we also provide a build-time macro via [unplugin-quansync](https://github.com/unplugin/unplugin-quansync#usage) allowing you use quansync with async/await syntax, while still able to get the sync version out of that.

Here is an example:

```ts
import fs from 'node:fs'
import { quansync } from 'quansync/macro'

// Create a quansync function by providing `sync` and `async` implementations
const readFile = quansync({
  sync: (path: string) => fs.readFileSync(path),
  async: (path: string) => fs.promises.readFile(path),
})

// Create a quansync function by providing an **async** function
const myFunction = quansync(async (filename) => {
  // Use `await` to call another quansync function
  const code = await readFile(filename, 'utf8')

  return `// some custom prefix\n${code}`
})

// Use it as a sync function
const result = myFunction.sync('./some-file.js')

// Use it as an async function
const asyncResult = await myFunction.async('./some-file.js')
```
