stream
This is a browser-compatible version of the node.js stream
module. Thus, you can use the node docs as the docs for this library: http://nodejs.org/api/stream.html.
This is a quick example of how to make a readable stream of random numbers
var Readable = require('stream/readable');
function createRandomNumberStream (opts) {
var randomNumberStream = new Readable(opts);
randomNumberStream._read = function () {
this.push(Math.random());
};
return randomNumberStream;
}
var myRandomNumberStream = createRandomNumberStream();
myRandomNumberStream.on('data', function (randomNumber) {
console.log(randomNumber);
});
There is one slight addition from what node implements, and that is the Readable.prototype.forEach
method, which behaves much like the Observable.prototype.forEach
method (docced as subscribe) in RxJS;
// full signature
var subscription = readable.forEach(onData, onError, onEnd);
// Remove relevant listeners
subscription.dispose();
// or, more commonly
readable.forEach(function (thing) {
// do something
console.log(thing);
});
