FrameGenerator v0.2.7

FrameGenerator

Transform Binary Stream to Object Stream through Generator

It's suitable for parsing protocol from binary stream

Require

node > 6

Usage

new FrameGenerator(generator);

The FrameGenerator is inherited from Stream.Transform.

generator is a Generator Function, that describes a format of frame.

In the generator, following usages are defined:

1. yield number read a known lenght buffer.
2. yield string read buffer until the string occured.
3. yield iterator parse asynchronously a sub-frme.
4. yield array read buffer until any one string occured.
5. return any return a value as the frame data.

Demo

const FrameGenerator = require('FrameGenerator');

let fg = new FrameGenerator(function*() {
  let buffer1 = yield length;
  let buffer2 = yield terminator;
  let buffer3 = yield subFrame();
  let [ buffer4, strx ] = yield [ str1, str2 ];
  return { buffer1, buffer2, buffer3, buffer4 };
});

inputStream.pipe(fg).pipe(outputStream)
