AsynKronous Primitive Algebra

Akpa is a library to handle async iterators with some of the features similar to RX.js:

• streamBuffer
• streamEvery
• map
• mergeMap

streamBuffer*(callback)

async function* streamBuffer<T>(
  callback:
    (arg: {
      yield,
      reject,
      complete,
      isEnded,
      finally }) => void
): AsyncGenerator<T[]>

type StreamParameters = {
  yield: (item: T) => Promise<void>,
  reject: (error: Error) => void,
  complete: () => void,
  isEnded: boolean,
  finally: Promise<void>
}

Controlling async generator by programmatically pushing (buffering) inputs.

The callback receives 4 facilities to drive the generation:

• yield(item: T) => Promise<void> pushes item into a buffer for async generator, and immediately returns a Promise (you are free to wait, or keep pushing more)  
• reject(error: Error) injects error into the async generator, which will fire AFTER all the alerady buffered entries consumed  
• complete() compeltes the async generator, which will reach the consumer only after all the already buffered entries are consumed  
• isEnded: boolean indicating that generator is ended -- letting you bail out from complex logic early  
• finally: Promise this promise will settle after the async generator ends (whether by consumer or producer, successfully or by error)

streamAll*(callback)

Same as the streamBuffer above, but the consumer will be given individual yielded items, instead of the buffered chunks.

map*(input[, project])

Takes an input async generator, and executes a projection function on every element.

mergeMap*(input[, project])

Flattens a sequence of sequences into simple sequence of elements.

The input is a generator, and optional projection. For each element of this parent generator the mergeMap* function expects a child generator.

These generators are all merged into output in the order of the parent generator.
