Stream-js

What do you think of the following code snippet?

NaturalNumbers()
  .filter(function (n) { return n % 2 === 0; }) //even numbers filter
  .pick(100)
  .sum();

Beautifully succinct right?

Getting started

Stream-js is a very small (4.1kb minified) library that brings the power of streams to your programming. It enables you to write code as shown above.

Get the latest release from GitHub, via NPM or bower.

NPM

npm install stream-js

Bower

bower install stream-js

Creating Streams

Streams can be created using the constructor function or using the helper methods: from and fromArray.

var streamOf2 = new Stream(1, function () {
    return new Stream(2, null);
});
 
var stream = Stream.create(1,2,3);
 
var streamFromArray = Stream.fromArray([1,2,3]);

Streams can be finite or infinite. Infinite streams can be used to model infinite series in mathematical domains like Natural numbers etc.

Finite Streams

var s = Stream.create(1,2,3);

Infinite Streams

function NaturalNumbers() {
    return new Stream(
        1,
        function () {
            return Stream.add(
                Stream.NaturalNumbers(),
                Stream.Ones());
        });
}

Using Streams

var evenNaturals = NaturalNumbers().filter(function(val) {
    return val % 2 === 0;
});

var sum = Stream.create(1,2,3).reduce(function(a, b) {
    return a + b;
});
