Combine Streams

NPM version Build status Test coverage Dependency Status License Downloads Gittip

Basically a streams2 version of combined-stream. Allows you to combine streams as well as strings and buffers into a single stream. Why? I don't know. I just saw this repo and thought, "hey, this sucks because it's not streams2".

Example

combine()
.append(fs.createReadStream('file1.txt'))
.append(fs.createReadStream('file2.txt'))
.append(null)
.pipe(process.stdout)

API

Combine([options])

Creates a new Combine instance. options are passed to require('stream').PassThrough.

var combine = require('combine-streams')

combine.append(obj)

You can append:

  • A readable stream
  • A buffer
  • A string
  • A thunk that returns one of the above

To signify that you are done appending items, you must call combine.append(null) just like a readable stream's .push(null) implementation.

combine()
.append(fs.createReadStream('file1.txt'))
.append('End of the first file.')
.append(function (done) {
  done(null, fs.createReadStream('file2.txt'))
})
.append('End of the second file.')
.append(null)
.pipe(process.stdout)

combine.pipe(dest [, options])

combine itself is a readable stream, so you should probably use combine.pipe(dest).
