# MapStream
|
|
|
|
Refactored out of [event-stream](https://github.com/dominictarr/event-stream)
|
|
|
|
##map (asyncFunction[, options])
|
|
|
|
Create a through stream from an asyncronous function.
|
|
|
|
``` js
|
|
var map = require('map-stream')
|
|
|
|
map(function (data, callback) {
|
|
//transform data
|
|
// ...
|
|
callback(null, data)
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each map MUST call the callback. It may callback with data, with an error or with no arguments,
|
|
|
|
* `callback()` drop this data.
|
|
this makes the map work like `filter`,
|
|
note:`callback(null,null)` is not the same, and will emit `null`
|
|
|
|
* `callback(null, newData)` turn data into newData
|
|
|
|
* `callback(error)` emit an error for this item.
|
|
|
|
>Note: if a callback is not called, `map` will think that it is still being processed,
|
|
>every call must be answered or the stream will not know when to end.
|
|
>
|
|
>Also, if the callback is called more than once, every call but the first will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
##Options
|
|
|
|
* `failures` - `boolean` continue mapping even if error occured. On error `map-stream` will emit `failure` event. (default: `false`)
