inflow

Efficiently process text streams line-by-line

Inflow supports:

• All character sets supported by node
• Fast and efficient processing and buffering in the background
• Blocking, non-blocking and asynchronous access

Installation

npm i --save @dev-essentials/inflow

Usage

Asynchronous access (async/await):

const Inflow = require('@dev-essentials/inflow');
const stream = inflow.stdin();

let line;
while (line = await stream.nextAsync()) {
    console.log(line);
}

Asynchronous access (without async/await):

const Inflow = require('@dev-essentials/inflow');
const stream = inflow.stdin();

const handler = line => {
    if (!line) return;
    console.log(line);
    stream.nextAsync().then(handler);
}

stream.nextAsync().then(handler);

Asynchronous access (callback):

const Inflow = require('@dev-essentials/inflow');
const stream = inflow.stdin({
    callback: line => {
        console.log(line);
    },
});
