streamtest

Streams test library

streamtest is a set of utils to test your stream based modules simply.

In fact, this repository's tests is a perfect example of its own usage ;).

Installation

First install streamtest in your project:

npm install --save-dev streamtest

Getting started

Then, use it:

import StreamTest from 'streamtest';

describe('My Stream Lib', () => {

  // here goes your code
  it('should work', async (done) => {
    const [outputStream, resultPromise] = StreamTest.toText();

    StreamTest.fromChunks(['a ', 'chunk', 'and', 'another'])
      .pipe(myTestedStream)
      .pipe(outputStream);

    assert.equal(await resultPromise, 'the text as i should be')
  });

});

StreamTest.fromObjects(objects, timeout) ⇒

Create a readable stream streaming objects each timeout milliseconds and then end. Usefull for testing objectMode based streams.

Kind: static method of StreamTest
Returns: Readable

Param	Description
objects	Array
timeout	number

StreamTest.fromErroredObjects(err, objects, timeout) ⇒

Create a readable stream streaming objects each timeout milliseconds, emit the err error and then end. Usefull for testing objectMode based streams.

Kind: static method of StreamTest
Returns: Readable

Param	Description
err	Error
objects	Object[]
timeout	number

StreamTest.fromChunks(chunks, timeout) ⇒

Create a readable stream streaming chunks each timeout milliseconds and then end. Usefull for testing buffer based streams.

Kind: static method of StreamTest
Returns: Readable

Param	Description
chunks	Buffer[]
timeout	number

StreamTest.fromErroredChunks(err, objects, timeout) ⇒

Create a readable stream streaming chunks each timeout milliseconds, emit the err error and then end. Usefull for testing buffer based streams.

Kind: static method of StreamTest
Returns: Readable

Param	Description
err	Error
objects	Object[]
timeout	number

StreamTest.toObjects() ⇒

Create a writable stream collecting written objects and a promise that resolves when it finishes with the objects collected.

Kind: static method of StreamTest
Returns: [Writable, Promise]

StreamTest.toChunks() ⇒

Create a writable stream collecting written chunks and a promise that resolves when it finishes with the chunks collected.

Kind: static method of StreamTest
Returns: [Writable, Promise<Buffer[]>]

StreamTest.toText() ⇒

Create a writable stream collecting written text and a promise that resolves when it finishes with the whole text content.

Kind: static method of StreamTest
Returns: [Writable, Promise]
