syncsplit(matcher, mapper, options)

Break up a stream and reassemble it so that each line is a chunk. syncsplit is inspired by @dominictarr split module and by mine split2 module, and it is totally API compatible with it. However, it is based on syncthrough it is fully synchronous.

matcher may be a String, or a RegExp. Example, read every line in a file ...

  fs.createReadStream(file)
    .pipe(syncsplit())
    .on('data', function (line) {
      //each chunk now is a seperate line!
    })

split takes the same arguments as string.split except it defaults to '/\r?\n/' instead of ',', and the optional limit paremeter is ignored. String#split

split takes an optional options object on it's third argument, which is directly passed as a Transform option.

Additionally, the .maxLength option is implemented, which will make the split stream throw an error if the buffer size exceeds .maxLength.

Calling .destroy will make the stream emit close. Use this to perform cleanup logic

var splitFile = function(filename) {
  var file = fs.createReadStream(filename)

  return file
    .pipe(syncsplit())
    .on('close', function() {
      // destroy the file stream in case the split stream was destroyed
      file.destroy()
    })
}

var stream = splitFile('my-file.txt')

stream.destroy() // will destroy the input file stream

syncsplit accepts a function which transforms each line.

fs.createReadStream(file)
  .pipe(syncsplit(JSON.parse))
  .on('data', function (obj) {
    //each chunk now is a a js object
  })
