stream-through-p v1.0.1

stream-through-p

Pass each datum in a stream through a function.

With promises!

Explanation

A wrapper around through2 that expects promises, rather than a context sensitive calling convention. This should reduce boilerplate code for dealing with the often-ignored encoding parameter, and focuses on the usual use-cases: an asynchronous map over time.

It only operates in object mode. I find that explicit buffering and reblocking is more useful than having strings automatically concatenated, and leaves the interface agnostic of the mode of the streams.

Use

streamOfItems()
    .pipe(throughp(e => db.lookup(e)))
    .pipe(throughp(JSON.stringify))
    .pipe(process.stdout)
