dev-null

/dev/null for node streams

Use it whenever you need to interrupt stream flow for instance if you want to log the state of a stream instead of its output.

// without devnull 
var numbers = require('../test/fixtures/number-readable')
 
numbers({ to: 2 })
  .on('data', function (d) { console.log(d.toString()) });
// =>  
// 0 
// 1 
// 2

// piping into devnull 
var devnull = require('dev-null');
var numbers = require('../test/fixtures/number-readable');
 
numbers({ to: 2 })
  .pipe(devnull())
  .on('data', function (d) { console.log(d.toString()) });
 
// => (no output)
