Advanced tools
This module create a Stream which implement both the writer and reader API. The content written to the stream is buffered at a defined size and later flushed into the final destination stream. Use the buffered stream to increase writing speed.
The example below will buffer the data from i readable stream and send them to a writeable stream as 16 Mo chunks.
buffered = require('buffered-stream');
reader = createStreamReader();
buffer = buffered(4*1024*1024);
writer = createStreamWriter();
reader.pipe(buffer).pipe(writer);
Tests are executed with mocha. To install it, simple run npm install, it will install
mocha and its dependencies in your project "node_modules" directory.
To run the tests:
npm test
The tests run against the CoffeeScript source files.
To generate the JavaScript files:
make build
The test suite is run online with Travis against Node.js version 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9.
