# Memory Streams JS
|
|
_Memory Streams JS_ is a light-weight implementation of the `Stream.Readable` and `Stream.Writable` abstract classes from node.js. You can use the classes provided to store the result of reading and writing streams in memory. This can be useful when you need pipe your test output for later inspection or to stream files from the web into memory without have to use temporary files on disk.
|
|
|
|
Forked from https://github.com/paulja/memory-streams-js to be modified
|
|
so that `.end()` calls emit a `finish` event.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
Install with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install memory-streams --save
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
Sample usage, using the `ReadableStream` class and piping:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var streams = require('memory-streams');
|
|
|
|
// Initialize with the string
|
|
var reader = new streams.ReadableStream('Hello World\n');
|
|
|
|
// Send all output to stdout
|
|
reader.pipe(process.stdout); // outputs: "Hello World\n"
|
|
|
|
// Add more data to the stream
|
|
reader.append('Hello Universe\n'); // outputs "Hello Universe\n";
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Using the `ReadableStream` class and reading manually:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var streams = require('memory-streams');
|
|
|
|
// Initialize with the string
|
|
var reader = new streams.ReadableStream('Hello World\n');
|
|
|
|
// Add more data to the stream
|
|
reader.append('Hello Universe\n'); // outputs "Hello Universe\n";
|
|
|
|
// Read the data out
|
|
console.log(reader.read().toString()); // outputs: "Hello World\nHello Universe\n"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Using the `WritableStream` class and piping the contents of a file:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var streams = require('memory-streams')
|
|
, fs = require('fs');
|
|
|
|
// Pipe
|
|
var reader = fs.createReadStream('index.js');
|
|
var writer = new streams.WritableStream();
|
|
reader.pipe(writer);
|
|
reader.on('readable', function() {
|
|
|
|
// Output the content as a string
|
|
console.log(writer.toString());
|
|
|
|
// Output the content as a Buffer
|
|
console.log(writer.toBuffer());
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also call the `write` method directly to store data to the stream:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var streams = require('memory-streams');
|
|
|
|
// Write method
|
|
var writer = new streams.WritableStream();
|
|
writer.write('Hello World\n');
|
|
|
|
// Output the content as a string
|
|
console.log(writer.toString()); // Outputs: "Hello World\n"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more examples you can look at the tests for the module.
