streamify

node-streamify

Streamify helps you easily provide a streaming interface for your code.

Usage

const streamify = require('streamify');
const request   = require('request');
 
exports.doSomething = () => {
  let stream = streamify();
 
  request(url1, (err, res, body) => {
    // Do something with `body`.
 
    // Once the actual stream you want to return is ready,
    // call `stream.resolve()`.
    stream.resolve(request(url2));
  });
 
  // Your function can return back a stream!!
  return stream;
}
 
// Because `doSomething()` returns a stream, it can be piped.
exports.doSomething().pipe(anotherStream);
