Strided Array Stream
Create a readable stream from a strided array-like object.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/streams-node-from-strided-array
Usage
var stridedArrayStream = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-from-strided-array' );
stridedArrayStream( N, buffer, stride, offset[, options] )
Returns a readable stream from a strided array-like object
.
var inspectStream = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-inspect-sink' );
function log( chunk ) {
console.log( chunk.toString() );
}
var stream = stridedArrayStream( 4, [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], 1, 0 );
var iStream = inspectStream( log );
stream.pipe( iStream );
The function accepts the following options
:
- objectMode: specifies whether a stream should operate in objectMode. Default:
false
. - encoding: specifies how
Buffer
objects should be decoded tostrings
. Default:null
. - highWaterMark: specifies the maximum number of bytes to store in an internal buffer before pausing streaming.
- sep: separator used to join streamed data. This option is only applicable when a stream is not in objectMode. Default:
'\n'
. - serialize: custom serialization function. This option is only applicable when a stream is not in objectMode.
To set stream options
,
var opts = {
'objectMode': true,
'encoding': 'utf8',
'highWaterMark': 64
};
var stream = stridedArrayStream( 4, [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], 1, 0, opts );
By default, when not operating in objectMode, a returned stream delineates individual values using a newline character. To specify an alternative separator, set the sep
option.
var inspectStream = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-inspect-sink' );
function log( chunk ) {
console.log( chunk.toString() );
}
var stream = stridedArrayStream( 4, [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], 1, 0, {
'sep': ','
});
var iStream = inspectStream( log );
stream.pipe( iStream );
By default, when not operating in objectMode, a returned stream serializes values as JSON strings. To specify custom serialization behavior (either to a string
or Buffer
), set the serialize
option.
var inspectStream = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-inspect-sink' );
function serialize( v ) {
return 'v::' + v.toString();
}
function log( chunk ) {
console.log( chunk.toString() );
}
var stream = stridedArrayStream( 4, [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], 1, 0, {
'serialize': serialize
});
var iStream = inspectStream( log );
stream.pipe( iStream );
stridedArrayStream.factory( [options] )
Returns a function
for creating readable streams from strided array-like objects.
var opts = {
'objectMode': true,
'encoding': 'utf8',
'highWaterMark': 64
};
var createStream = stridedArrayStream.factory( opts );
var stream1 = createStream( 2, [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], 2, 1 );
var stream2 = createStream( 3, [ 5, 6, 7, 8 ], 1, 1 );
// ...
The method accepts the same options
as stridedArrayStream()
.
stridedArrayStream.objectMode( N, buffer, stride, offset[, options] )
This method is a convenience function to create streams which always operate in objectMode.
var inspectStream = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-inspect-sink' );
function log( v ) {
console.log( v );
}
var stream = stridedArrayStream.objectMode( 4, [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], 1, 0 );
var opts = {
'objectMode': true
};
var iStream = inspectStream( opts, log );
stream.pipe( iStream );
This method accepts the same options
as stridedArrayStream()
; however, the method will always override the objectMode
option in options
.
Notes
- In
objectMode
,null
is a reserved value. If anarray
containsnull
values (e.g., as a means to encode missing values), the stream will prematurely end. Consider an alternative encoding or filternull
values prior to invocation. - In binary mode, if an
array
containsundefined
values, the stream will emit an error. Consider providing a custom serialization function or filteringundefined
values prior to invocation.
Examples
var inspectStream = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-inspect-sink' );
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var stridedArrayStream = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-from-strided-array' );
function log( v ) {
console.log( v.toString() );
}
// Create an array containing uniformly distributed pseudorandom numbers:
var arr = new Float64Array( 20 );
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) {
arr[ i ] = randu();
}
// Create a stream which iterates over every other element from right-to-left:
var opts = {
'objectMode': true
};
var stream = stridedArrayStream( 10, arr, -2, arr.length-2, opts );
// Create a writable stream for inspecting stream data:
opts = {
'objectMode': true
};
var iStream = inspectStream( opts, log );
// Begin data flow:
stream.pipe( iStream );
