The docs of Name API have some [example code](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/blob/master/docs/core-api/NAME.md#namepubsubsubs) on how to resolve a cid from IPNS. I got the publish example code working fine but the resolve example code gives an error in the console: is not iterable.

```
// The IPNS address you want to resolve.
const addr = '/ipns/ipfs.io'

for await (const name of ipfs.name.resolve(addr)) {
  console.log(name)
  // /ipfs/QmQrX8hka2BtNHa8N8arAq16TCVx5qHcb46c5yPewRycLm
}

```

I inserted it in the [browser-mfs example](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/blob/master/examples/browser-mfs/index.js), at the bottom just after “updateTree(ipfs)”

Any tips or suggestions? 🙈 🙉 🙊
