tbucket

group dates into time buckets

This command and API modifies the dates given as input to the nearest bucket for the given time string. This way you can create "buckets" of time to lump events in.

example

$ echo -e '2015-11-24 3\n2015-11-12 4\n2015-11-22 5' \
  | tbucket week | sort
2015-11-08 4
2015-11-22 3
2015-11-22 5

api example

var tbucket = require('tbucket')
var timestr = process.argv.slice(2).join(' ')

process.stdin
  .pipe(tbucket(timestr))
  .pipe(process.stdout)

output:

$ echo -e '2015-11-24 3\n2015-11-12 4\n2015-11-22 5' \
  | node lines.js week | sort
2015-11-08 4
2015-11-22 3
2015-11-22 5

api

var tbucket = require('tbucket')

var stream = tbucket(timestr, opts)

Create a bucket transform stream from a recurring time string.

Some example values for a time string:

• weekly
• monthly
• yearly
• every tuesday

By default, the stream expects lines of text as input with leading date strings and produces lines of text as output.

• opts.readableObjectMode - when true, produce objects as output
• opts.writableObjectMode - when true, expect objects as input
• opts.objectMode - when true, produce objects as output and expect objects as input

In object mode (both read and write), the objects should have both key and value properties.
