API

appendToFile

Appends a stream of data to a file:

import path from 'path';
import {of} from 'rxjs';
import {appendFile} from 'rxfs';

const data = [
  '"animal","coolness"',
  '"dolphin",10',
  '"algea",1',
  '"mermaid",6',
  '"octopus",9',
  '"octopus",9',
  '"narwhale",8',
];

const writeStream$ = of(...data).pipe(
  appendFile({filePath: path.resolve(__dirname, './output.csv')})
);
// write the input observable to the file
writeStream$.subscribe(console.log);

fromFile

Streams data from a file as a stream of Buffers.

import path from 'path';
import {fromFile} from '@rxtk/fs';

const csvContentAsBuffer$ = fromFile({
  filePath: path.resolve(__dirname, './my-csv.csv'),
});
csvContentBuffer$.subscribe(console.log);
// "name","scariness"
// "Blackbeard",10
// "Morgan",9
// "Sparrow",2
// "Crunch",1

shortenChunks

Takes a stream of Buffer objects and ensures that they are shortened to the desired size, while preserving order/sequence. Useful, for example, if you want to control the size of a file upload.

import path from 'path';
import {fromFile,shortenChunks} from '@rxtk/fs';

const csvContentAsBuffer$ = fromFile({
  filePath: path.resolve(__dirname, './my-csv.csv'),
});
const chunkSize = 512;
const shortenedBuffer$ = fileChunk$.pipe(
  shortenChunks(chunkSize)
);
shortenedBuffer$.subscribe(console.log);

writeToFile

Writes data to file (overwriting any previous contents).

import path from 'path';
import {of} from 'rxjs';
import {writeToFile} from '@rxtk/fs';

const data = [
  '"animal","coolness"',
  '"dolphin",10',
  '"algea",1',
  '"mermaid",6',
  '"octopus",9',
  '"octopus",9',
  '"narwhale",8',
];

const writeStream$ = of(...data).pipe(
  writeToFile({filePath: path.resolve(__dirname, './output.csv')})
);
// write the input observable to the file
writeStream$.subscribe(console.log);
