Node-Stream

A Stream is a core interface in Node which is generally misunderstood. Since Node doesn't provide a simple API for them, they are very often misused. This library aims to resolve those problems by exposing a collection of array-like methods for working with Node Streams.

Every function in Node-Stream returns an instance of a Streams3 Stream which means you'll be using the latest implementation of Streams. This library works with the latest Streams as well as Node 0.12 Streams.

const nodeStream = require('node-stream');

// Get the 5 most recent posts by stezu
db.createReadStream()
    .pipe(nodeStream.where({ type: 'post', author: 'stezu' }))
    .pipe(nodeStream.sort((a, b) => a.id > b.id))
    .pipe(nodeStream.take(5))
    .pipe(nodeStream.stringify())
    .pipe(nodeStream.intersperse('\n'))
    .pipe(process.stdout);
