streduce

Build Status

This library provides provides implementation of reduce abstraction defined by reducers for streams. Which basically means that importing this library will make all node streams reducibles, in other words all of the functions that work with reducers will work with node streams too.

Example

var fs = require("fs")
 
var fold = require("reducers/fold")
var expand = require("reducers/expand")
var map = require("reducers/map")
var take = require("reducers/take")
var drop = require("reducers/drop")
 
// You need to import this, otherwise streams are treated as single
// value sequences of that value.
var Stream = require("streduce")
 
 
var stream = fs.createReadStream("./package.json")
// Map buffer stream to strings
var stringStream = map(stream, String)
// Expands text content to a lines. Expand is just like map with
// a differenc that mapped values are sequences too, that includes
// arrays, streams, arguments, etc...
// Some other languages call this operation mapcat
var linesStream = expand(stringStream, function(text) {
  return text.split("\n")
})
var linesFrom4 = drop(linesStream, 3)
// Take takes `n` number from items from the sequence, there
// for we end up with two lines from the package.json
var lines56 = take(linesFrom4, 2)
 
// Finally read print lines we're interested in:
fold(lines56, function(line, count) {
  console.log("line #" + (++count) + " " + line)
  return count
}, 0)
// => info: line #1   "version": "0.0.1",
// => info: line #2   "description": "Adapter for making node streams reducible",

Please note that unlike typical data structures provided by reducers that ary lazy and do work only after calling reduce on them, node streams are not. Things like fs.createReadStream start reading, that is also how transformations are applied by reducers library.
