SyncChannel

A SyncChannel is an abortable readable/writable communication channel. Communication is synchronous, i.e. the callback of a write gets called only when it's value has been read. Reading/writing from/to a SyncChannel can be aborted by calling the abort function returned by the read/write methods.

$ npm install sync-channel

Examples

read/write

var SyncChannel = require('sync-channel');

var channel = new SyncChannel();

channel.read(function(value) {
	console.log('value read', value);
});

channel.write(123, function() {
	console.log('value written');
});

Aborting a read/write operation

var SyncChannel = require('sync-channel');

var channel = new SyncChannel();

var abortRead = channel.read(function(value) {
	console.log('value read', value);
});

setTimeout(function() {
	abortRead();
	console.log('you are so slow!');
}, 500);

setTimeout(function() {
	channel.write(123, function() {
		console.log('value written');
	});
}, 1000);
