About stdlib...
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
npm install @stdlib/streams-node-transformAlternatively,
- To load the package in a website via a
scripttag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on theesmbranch (see README). - If you are using Deno, visit the
denobranch (see README for usage intructions). - For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the
umdbranch (see README).
The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.
To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.
var transformStream = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-transform' );Creates a transform stream.
var stdout = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-stdout' );
function transform( chunk, enc, clbk ) {
clbk( null, chunk.toString()+'\n' );
}
var stream = transformStream({
'transform': transform
});
stream.pipe( stdout );
stream.write( '1' );
stream.write( '2' );
stream.write( '3' );
stream.end();
// e.g., => '1\n2\n3\n'The function accepts the following options:
- transform: callback to invoke upon receiving a new chunk.
- flush: callback to invoke after receiving all chunks and prior to a stream closing.
- objectMode: specifies whether a stream should operate in objectMode. Default:
false. - encoding: specifies how
Bufferobjects should be decoded tostrings. Default:null. - highWaterMark: specifies the
Bufferlevel at whichwrite()calls start returningfalse. - allowHalfOpen: specifies whether a stream should remain open even if one side ends. Default:
false. - decodeStrings: specifies whether to decode
stringsintoBufferobjects when writing. Default:true.
To set stream options,
var opts = {
'objectMode': true,
'encoding': 'utf8',
'highWaterMark': 64,
'allowHalfOpen': true,
'decodeStrings': false
};
var stream = transformStream( opts );The transform option should be a function having the following signature:
function transform( chunk, enc, clbk ) {
var multipleData;
var err;
if ( multipleData ) {
// Push as many chunks as required...
this.push( chunk );
this.push( chunk );
// ...
if ( err ) {
return clbk( err );
}
return clbk();
}
if ( err ) {
return clbk( err );
}
clbk( null, chunk );
}The flush option should be a function which performs any remaining tasks before the stream closes, such as unfinished data processing.
function flush( clbk ) {
var err;
// Push any remaining chunks...
this.push( '...' );
this.push( '...' );
// ...
if ( err ) {
return clbk( err );
}
clbk();
}If no transform is provided, the returned stream will be a simple pass through stream.
Returns a function for creating streams which are identically configured according to provided options.
var opts = {
'objectMode': true,
'encoding': 'utf8',
'highWaterMark': 64
};
var factory = transformStream.factory( opts );This method accepts the same options as transformStream(), except for the transform and flush options which must be provided explicitly, as shown below.
Creates a transform stream.
function transform1( chunk, enc, clbk ) {
clbk( null, chunk.toString()+'\n' );
}
function transform2( chunk, enc, clbk ) {
clbk( null, chunk.toString()+'\t' );
}
function flush( clbk ) {
clbk();
}
var factory = transformStream.factory();
var s1 = factory( transform1 );
var s2 = factory( transform2, flush );This method is a convenience function to create streams which always operate in objectMode.
var stdout = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-stdout' );
function stringify( chunk, enc, clbk ) {
clbk( null, JSON.stringify( chunk ) );
}
function newline( chunk, enc, clbk ) {
clbk( null, chunk+'\n' );
}
var s1 = transformStream.objectMode({
'transform': stringify
});
var s2 = transformStream.objectMode({
'transform': newline
});
s1.pipe( s2 ).pipe( stdout );
s1.write( { 'value': 'a' } );
s1.write( { 'value': 'b' } );
s1.write( { 'value': 'c' } );
s1.end();
// e.g., => '{"value":"a"}\n{"value":"b"}\n{"value":"c"}\n'This method accepts the same options as transformStream(); however, the method will always override the objectMode option in options.
Instead of returning a transform stream instance, this method returns a custom transform stream constructor. If provided transform and flush options, these methods are bound to the constructor prototype. If not provided a transform, the returned constructor creates simple pass through streams.
function transform( chunk, enc, clbk ) {
clbk( null, chunk.toString()+'\n' );
}
function flush( clbk ) {
this.push( 'beep' );
clbk();
}
var opts = {
'transform': transform,
'flush': flush
};
var MyStream = transformStream.ctor( opts );
var bool = ( MyStream.prototype._transform === transform );
// returns true
bool = ( MyStream.prototype._flush === flush );
// returns trueThe returned constructor accepts the same options as documented above, except for the transform and flush options, which are not supported. Any options provided to the constructor override options provided to the constructor factory.
var stdout = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-stdout' );
var factory = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-transform' ).factory;
function parse( chunk, enc, clbk ) {
clbk( null, JSON.parse( chunk ) );
}
function pluck( chunk, enc, clbk ) {
clbk( null, chunk.value );
}
function square( chunk, enc, clbk ) {
var v = +chunk;
clbk( null, v*v );
}
function toStr( chunk, enc, clbk ) {
clbk( null, chunk.toString() );
}
function join( chunk, enc, clbk ) {
clbk( null, chunk+'\n' );
}
// Create a factory which generates streams running in `objectMode`:
var tStream = factory({
'objectMode': true
});
// Create streams for each transform:
var s1 = tStream( parse );
var s2 = tStream( pluck );
var s3 = tStream( square );
var s4 = tStream( toStr );
var s5 = tStream( join );
// Create the pipeline:
s1.pipe( s2 )
.pipe( s3 )
.pipe( s4 )
.pipe( s5 )
.pipe( stdout );
// Write data to the pipeline...
var v;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
v = '{"value":'+i+'}';
s1.write( v, 'utf8' );
}
