Iterator <-> stream utilities

createReadStreamFromIterator

createReadStreamFromIterator(...'abc').pipe(process.stdout);

Options:

• type:
  • sync: asynchronous elements (promises, streams) are executed after the previous one ended
  • async (default): asynchronous elements are executed immediately, but the order in which they were given is kept
  • disordered: asynchronous elements are executed immediately and written to the stream just after they end

let delay = function (d, v) {
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    setTimeout(() => resolve(v), d);
  });
};

let generator = function* () {
  yield delay(400, 'a');
  yield 'b';
  yield delay(200, 'c');
};

createReadStreamFromIterator(generator(), { type: 'sync' });       // 600ms: [a, b, c] [400, 400, 600]
createReadStreamFromIterator(generator(), { type: 'async' });      // 400ms: [a, b, c] [400, 400, 400]
createReadStreamFromIterator(generator(), { type: 'disordered' }); // 400ms: [b, c, a] [0, 200, 400]
