Module for node.js to calculate fibonacci numbers for one or endless iterations, until you run out of memory.

Using the bn.js module it can return numbers of any size without being limited by the hardcoded javascript Number.MAX_LIMIT.

Find one fibonacci number at 3000 iterations:

const fibonacci = require ('fibonacci');
const bigNumber = fibonacci.iterate (3000);
console.log (bigNumber);

Result:

{ number: '410615886307971260333568378719267105220125108637369252408885430926905584274113403731330491660850044560830036835706942274588569362145476502674373045446852160486606292497360503469773453733196887405847255290082049086907512622059054542195889758031109222670849274793859539133318371244795543147611073276240066737934085191731810993201706776838934766764778739502174470268627820918553842225858306408301661862900358266857238210235802504351951472997919676524004784236376453347268364152648346245840573214241419937917242918602639810097866942392015404620153818671425739835074851396421139982713640679581178458198658692285968043243656709796000',
length: 627,
iterations: '3000',
ms: 208 }

Get all numbers up to 4 seconds.

WARNING: it is very important that you run the iterate() function AFTER the .on('result') event, otherwise the iteration will continue forever without emitting the events!

fibonacci.on ('result', num => {
  console.log (`${num.iterations} / ${num.number}\n`);

  if (num.ms > 4000) {
    console.log ('Done!');
    fibonacci.kill();
  }
});

// run this AFTER everything
fibonacci.iterate();

Here you see I use the result event to catch each result, the num.ms property to figure out how many milliseconds have passed and finally kill() to stop the iteration.

npm i fibonacci

( [max_iterations] )

Run the iteration

Without this argument it will continue untill kill() is called, the process terminated or system ran out of memory.

resultObject with these elements:

( )

Stop the iteration loop.

( resultObject )

Emitted when a result is found.

resultObject with these elements:

( resultObject )

Emitted when max_iterations is reached, see Event result for details.
