Stream Line Dispatch

A way to read lines from a stream and dispatch events based off of pattern matching of those strings. Stream Line Dispatch is a stream transform, that does not transform data but analyses the data from a stream and allow for some simple event binding when data comes throught the pipe.

Install

npm install stream-line-dispatch

ssh = spawn( 'ssh', [ '-i', '~/.ssh/bar', '-tt', '[e-mail]' ] ),
transform = sld( {
    output: process.stdout, // optional writable stream
    sendOutput: true // flag if to write to stream
});  
 
transform.on( '#$', function() { // terminal char aka ready for input
    ssh.stdin.write( 'exit \n' );
});
 
ssh.stdout.pipe( transform );
