strong-child

A module that exposes a duplex stream interface for communicating with strong-parent. This creates a simple way to receive a stream of data from the parent process via the filesystem and send it back up to the parent in the same way.

install

npm i strong-child

Usage

See [strong-parent] for the parent process usage. Below is how you would create a child process.

var strongChild = require('strong-child');
var jsonStream = require('json-stream');
var someExpensiveObjectTransform = require('./transform');
 
var duplex = strongChild();
 
//
// Receive some newline delimited JSON, transform it and send it back to the
// parent
//
duplex
  .pipe(jsonStream())
  .pipe(someExpensiveObjectTransform())
  .pipe(duplex);
