JavaScript function similar to Python range()

Question

Is there a function in JavaScript similar to Python\'s range()?

I think there should be a better way than to write the following lines every time:

No, there is none, but you can make one.

I'm partial to Python3 behavior of range. You will find below JavaScript's implementation of Python's range():

function* range(start=0, end=undefined, step=1) {    
    if(arguments.length === 1) {end = start, start = 0}    
    
    [...arguments].forEach(arg => {    
        if( typeof arg !== 'number') {throw new TypeError("Invalid argument")}                               
    })    
    if(arguments.length === 0) {throw new TypeError("More arguments neede")}    
        
    if(start >= end) return                                                                                                                                     
    yield start    
    yield* range(start + step, end, step)    
}    
         
// Use Cases
console.log([...range(5)])

console.log([...range(2, 5)])

console.log([...range(2, 5, 2)])
console.log([...range(2,3)])
// You can, of course, iterate through the range instance.
