A stream that's ready to be replaced by another.
Create a temporary stream and replace it with the real one after 500ms. Use the temporary stream immediately, everything gets buffered.
var tmpStream = require('tmp-stream');
var through = require('through');
function createStream () {
var tmp = tmpStream();
setTimeout(function () {
var realStream = through(function (chunk) {
this.queue(chunk.toUpperCase());
});
tmp.replace(realStream);
realStream.write('hey');
}, 500);
return tmp;
}
var stream = createStream();
stream.on('data', console.log);
stream.write('you');outputs:
$ node example/simple.js
HEY
YOUCreate a new temporary stream.
Use stream as the real underlying stream and feed it with both already
buffered and new incoming data.
You may call this method only once.
With npm do
$ npm install tmp-stream(MIT)
