Fifo Transform

Layer on ordering to your stream. Use before sending over a transport that doesn't guarantee fifo ordering.

const { createFifoWrapper, createFifoUnwrapper } = require('fifo-transform')

inputStream
  .pipe(createFifoWrapper())
  .pipe(chaos)
  .pipe(createFifoUnwrapper())
  .pipe(outputStream)

api

We append (and remove) an ordering number to the front of the buffer of a specified length. How many messages do you expect to be in a jumble at once? It will support up to Math.pow(2, byteLength * 8) simultaneously in-transit messages. Default byteLength is 1, allowing 256 messages to be in jumble at once.

var wrapper = createFifoWrapper({ byteLength: 2 })
var unwrapper = createFifoUnwrapper({ byteLength: 2 })

note

Currently does not work with streams in object mode.
