StreamResponder
is a programmable Node.js module that allows you to interact with duplex streams.
I developed it to automate command line programs using ssh.
StreamResponder
is similar to Unix's expect
.
Installation
npm install node-stream-responder --save
Usage
var
StreamResponder = require('node-stream-responder');
var
responder = new StreamResponder();
responder.sequence
.step(trigger1, response1) // wait for `trigger` then respond writing `response` to the stream
.step(trigger2, response2) // each trigger can be a string or a regular expression
.control() // control flow; wait for `trigger3` or `trigger5`
.branch()
.step(trigger3, response3)
.step(trigger4, response4)
.end() // end branch. mandatory
.branch()
.step(trigger5, response5)
.control() // you can nest control structures
.branch()
.step(trigger6, response6)
.end() // optional
.end() // optional
.end() // optional
.end() // optional
.end(); // optional
responder.observe(stream);
