flow-diff

Transform stream factory to calculate the difference between successive streamed data values.

Installation

$ npm install flow-diff

API

To create a stream factory,

var diffStream = require( 'flow-diff' );
 
// Create a new factory:
var dStream = diffStream();

dStream.stream()

To create a new difference stream,

var stream = dStream.stream();

Usage

Methods are chainable.

diffStream()
    .stream()
    .pipe( /* writable stream */ );

Examples

var eventStream = require( 'event-stream' ),
    dStream = require( 'flow-diff' );
 
// Create some data...
var data = new Array( 1000 );
for ( var i = 0; i < data.length; i++ ) {
    data[ i ] = Math.round(Math.random()*10);
}
 
// Create a readable stream:
var readStream = eventStream.readArray( data );
 
// Create a new difference stream:
var stream = dStream().stream();
 
// Pipe the data:
readStream
    .pipe( stream )
    .pipe( eventStream.map( function( d, clbk ){
        clbk( null, d.toString()+'\n' );
    }))
    .pipe( process.stdout );

To run the example code from the top-level application directory,

$ node ./examples/index.js

Tests

Unit tests use the Mocha test framework with Chai assertions.

Assuming you have globally installed Mocha, execute the following command in the top-level application directory to run the tests:

$ mocha

All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.
