multipipe

A better Stream#pipe that creates duplex streams and lets you handle errors in one place.

Example

var pipe = require('multipipe');

// pipe streams
var stream = pipe(streamA, streamB, streamC);

// centralized error handling
stream.on('error', fn);

// creates a new stream
source.pipe(stream).pipe(dest);

// optional callback on finish or error
pipe(streamA, streamB, streamC, function(err){
  // ...
});

Duplex streams

Write to the pipe and you'll really write to the first stream, read from the pipe and you'll read from the last stream.

var stream = pipe(a, b, c);

source
  .pipe(stream)
  .pipe(destination);

In this example the flow of data is:

• source ->
• a ->
• b ->
• c ->
• destination

Error handling

Each pipe forwards the errors the streams it wraps emit, so you have one central place to handle errors:

var stream = pipe(a, b, c);

stream.on('error', function(err){
  // called three times
});

a.emit('error', new Error);
b.emit('error', new Error);
c.emit('error', new Error);

API

pipe(stream, ...)

Pass a variable number of streams and each will be piped to the next one.

A stream will be returned that wraps passed in streams in a way that errors will be forwarded and you can write to and/or read from it.

Pass a function as last argument to be called on error or finish of the last stream.

Installation

$ npm install multipipe
