Urine

Urine

Master branch build status Published version MIT Licensed

$ npm install urine -g

This library provides a simple CLI and a JavaScript API for sampling data from a stream or file for testing or limiting data consumption. It can be installed in whichever way you prefer, but I recommend NPM.

Documentation

Typical usage is from the command line with the urine command. To get help or usage information, try urine -h. Some contrived examples of using the command are shown below.

# Sample the input.txt file, splitting around newlines with a probability of 0.1 
$ urine -p 0.1 input.txt
 
# Sample the input.txt file, splitting around commas with a probability of 0.9 
$ urine -p .9 -s ',' input.txt
 
# Sample the input.txt file, splitting around colons or semicolons with a probability of 0.75 
$ urine -p .75 -s '[:;]' input.txt
 
# Sample the input.txt file through stdin with a probability of 0.001 
$ cat input.txt | urine -p 0.001
 
# Sample the syslog file through stdin with a probability of 0.1 
# Note that `tail` keeps the stream open, as will `urine` 
$ tail -f /var/log/syslog | urine -p .1
 
# Sample the syslog file, grepping for "myapp" with a probability of 0.5 
$ tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep --line-buffered 'myapp' | urine -p .5
 
# Sample output from a stream of `date` output with a probability of 0.1 
$ while true; do date; sleep 1; done | urine -p .1

There's also a public JavaScript API for working with streams inside your application.

var urine = require('urine');
var fs = require('fs');
 
var stdout = process.stdout;
var stream = fs.createReadStream('input.txt');
 
urine(stream, stdout, {
    probability: 0.1,
    split: /\r\n/
});
