nest-stream

Stream that allows nesting another stream for each value of the outer stream and streams the flattened result.

'use strict';
 
var nestStream = require('nest-stream')
  , through = require('through')
  , from = require('from');
 
var stream = nestStream(getInnerStream);
 
function getInnerStream (outerVal) {
  return from([1 + outerVal, 3 + outerVal, 4 + outerVal, 5 + outerVal])
}
 
function stringify (data) {
  this.queue(data + ' ');
}
 
from([10, 20, 30, 40])
  .pipe(stream)
  .pipe(through(stringify))
  .on('end', function () { console.error('ended') })
  .pipe(process.stdout);
 
// => 11 13 14 15  21 23 24 25  31 33 34 35  41 43 44 45  ended
