jemit

A user friendly JSON stream module with event support.

Usage

Example

Using events

const jemit = require('jemit');

let input = new jemit.Input();
let output = new jemit.Output();

output.stream.pipe(input.stream);
input.on('error', (e) => {
    console.error(e);
});
input.on('test', (data) => {
    console.log('test1:', data);
});
output.emit('test', {i: 1});
output.end();

Using the streams

const jemit = require('jemit');

let inputStream = new jemit.InputStream();
let outputStream = new jemit.OutputStream();

outputStream.pipe(inputStream);
inputStream.on('error', (e) => {
    console.error(e);
});
inputStream.on('data', (data) => {
    console.log('data:', data);
});
outputStream.write({i: 1});
outputStream.end();

API

jemit.Input

the Input is a NodeJS EventEmitter

new jemit.Input([options])

options: see: InputStream

.stream

The jemit InputStream is accessible via .stream

Event: *

All events what will be received from the stream will be emitted.

Event: 'error'

The error event is emitted on every error with the stream. Errors will normally not stop the streaming, but you will lose affected data.

jemit.Output

new jemit.Output([options])

options: see: OutputStream

.emit(event, [object])

event: object:

This is not the original emit() method from the EventEmitter

.stream

The jemit OutputStream is accessible via .stream

Event: 'error'

The error event is emitted on every error with the stream. Errors will normally not stop the streaming, but you will lose affected data.

jemit.InputStream

The stream is a NodeJS Transform Stream. For the methods see: NodeJS Steam API

new jemit.InputStream([options])

options:

key	default	description
delimiter	'\n'	delemiter to split stream (no need to change)
maxParseBufferSize	32768	max size for the parsing buffer
writableHighWaterMark	NodeJS default	NodeJS Doc
readableHighWaterMark	NodeJS default	NodeJS Doc

jemit.OutputStream

The stream is a NodeJS Transform Stream. For the methods see: NodeJS Steam API

new jemit.OutputStream([options])

options:

key	default	description
delimiter	'\n'	delemiter to split stream (no need to change)
maxChunkSize	16384	max chunk size for internal writing (push)
writableHighWaterMark	NodeJS default	NodeJS Doc
readableHighWaterMark	NodeJS default	NodeJS Doc
