object-stream
Simplified object streams based on Node streams2.
Installation
npm install object-stream
Examples
Creating a readable stream of objects from an array
var objectStream = require('object-stream');
objectStream.fromArray([1, 2, 3]).pipe(...);
Pass an empty array or anything falsy to create an empty stream.
Collecting elements into an array
var objectStream = require('object-stream');
objectStream.fromArray([1, 2, 3])
.pipe(objectStream.toArray(function (err, array) {
/* array contains all items emitted from readable streams */
}));
Mapping objects through a transform stream
Synchronously (iterator has only one argument):
var objectStream = require('object-stream');
objectStream.fromArray([1, 2, 3])
.pipe(objectStream.map(function (value) {
return value * 2;
}))
.pipe(...);
// asynchronous
objectStream.fromArray([1, 2, 3])
.pipe(objectStream.map(function (value, callback) {
setTimeout(function () {
callback(null, value * 2);
}, 100);
}))
.pipe(...);
Asynchronously (iterator has two arguments: value and callback):
var objectStream = require('object-stream');
objectStream.fromArray([1, 2, 3])
.pipe(objectStream.map(function (value, callback) {
setTimeout(function () {
callback(null, value * 2);
}, 100);
}))
.pipe(...);
Saving objects through a writable stream (or any other write-like action)
Synchronously (iterator has only one argument):
var objectStream = require('object-stream');
function save(value) {
/* save item... */
};
objectStream.fromArray([1, 2, 3]).pipe(objectStream.save(save));
Asynchronously (iterator has two arguments: value and callback):
var objectStream = require('object-stream');
function saveAsync(value, callback) {
/* save item... */
callback();
};
objectStream.fromArray([1, 2, 3]).pipe(objectStream.save(saveAsync));
