dedupe-stream v1.1.0

dedupe-stream

A stream that prevents consecutive duplicate emissions.

Example

var dedupeStream = require('dedupe-stream')

var dedupe = dedupeStream()

dedupe.write({fruit: 'apples'}) // emits {fruit: 'apples'}

dedupe.write({fruit: 'apples'}) // does not emit

dedupe.write({fruit: 'oranges'}) // emits {fruit: 'oranges'}

API

dedupe() -> DuplexStream

• Input is anything (See "Notes" below)
• Output is whatever you wrote, assuming it is unique compared to the previous emission.

Notes

Internally, dedupeStream clones the emitted value using JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj))) in order to avoid downstream changes from throwing off the equality check. This means that things that aren't faithfully JSON.stringifyed, such as functions and objects with circular references, will cause an error to throw.
