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!
Create a readable stream from an array-like object.
npm install @stdlib/streams-node-from-array
var arrayStream = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-from-array' );
Returns a readable stream from an array-like object
.
var inspectStream = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-inspect-sink' );
function log( chunk ) {
console.log( chunk.toString() );
}
var stream = arrayStream( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] );
var iStream = inspectStream( log );
stream.pipe( iStream );
The function accepts the following options
:
-
objectMode: specifies whether a stream should operate in objectMode. Default:
false
. -
encoding: specifies how
Buffer
objects should be decoded tostrings
. Default:null
. - highWaterMark: specifies the maximum number of bytes to store in an internal buffer before pausing streaming.
-
sep: separator used to join streamed data. This option is only applicable when a stream is not in objectMode. Default:
'\n'
. - serialize: custom serialization function. This option is only applicable when a stream is not in objectMode.
-
dir: iteration direction. If set to
-1
, the stream iterates over elements from right-to-left. Default:1
.
To set stream options
,
var opts = {
'objectMode': true,
'encoding': 'utf8',
'highWaterMark': 64
};
var stream = arrayStream( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], opts );
By default, when not operating in objectMode, a returned stream delineates individual values using a newline character. To specify an alternative separator, set the sep
option.
var inspectStream = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-inspect-sink' );
function log( chunk ) {
console.log( chunk.toString() );
}
var stream = arrayStream( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], {
'sep': ','
});
var iStream = inspectStream( log );
stream.pipe( iStream );
By default, when not operating in objectMode, a returned stream serializes values as JSON strings. To specify custom serialization behavior (either to a string
or Buffer
), set the serialize
option.
var inspectStream = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-inspect-sink' );
function serialize( v ) {
return 'v::' + v.toString();
}
function log( chunk ) {
console.log( chunk.toString() );
}
var stream = arrayStream( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], {
'serialize': serialize
});
var iStream = inspectStream( log );
stream.pipe( iStream );
Returns a function
for creating readable streams from array-like objects.
var opts = {
'objectMode': true,
'encoding': 'utf8',
'highWaterMark': 64
};
var createStream = arrayStream.factory( opts );
var stream1 = createStream( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] );
var stream2 = createStream( [ 5, 6, 7, 8 ] );
// ...
The method accepts the same options
as arrayStream()
.
This method is a convenience function to create streams which always operate in objectMode.
var inspectStream = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-inspect-sink' );
function log( v ) {
console.log( v );
}
var stream = arrayStream.objectMode( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] );
var opts = {
'objectMode': true
};
var iStream = inspectStream( opts, log );
stream.pipe( iStream );
This method accepts the same options
as arrayStream()
; however, the method will always override the objectMode
option in options
.
- In
objectMode
,null
is a reserved value. If anarray
containsnull
values (e.g., as a means to encode missing values), the stream will prematurely end. Consider an alternative encoding or filternull
values prior to invocation. - In binary mode, if an
array
containsundefined
values, the stream will emit an error. Consider providing a custom serialization function or filteringundefined
values prior to invocation.
var inspectStream = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-inspect-sink' );
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array-float64' );
var arrayStream = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-from-array' );
function log( v ) {
console.log( v.toString() );
}
// Create an array containing uniformly distributed pseudorandom numbers:
var arr = new Float64Array( 10 );
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < arr.length; i++ ) {
arr[ i ] = randu();
}
// Convert the array to a stream:
var opts = {
'objectMode': true
};
var stream = arrayStream( arr, opts );
// Create a writable stream for inspecting stream data:
opts = {
'objectMode': true
};
var iStream = inspectStream( opts, log );
// Begin data flow:
stream.pipe( iStream );
