pull-block

transform input into equally-sized chunks as output

Installation

With npm do:

> npm install pull-block

Example

var block = require('pull-block')
var pull = require('pull-stream')
var toPull = require('stream-to-pull-stream')

pull(
  toPull.source(process.stdin),
  block({ size: 16, zeroPadding: true }),
  pull.through(function (buf) {
    var str = buf.toString().replace(/[\x00-\x1f]/g, chr)
    console.log('buf[' + buf.length + ']=' + str)
  }),
  pull.drain()
)

function chr (s) { return '\\x' + pad(s.charCodeAt(0).toString(16), 2) }
function pad (s, n) { return Array(n - s.length + 1).join('0') + s }

$ echo {c,d,f}{a,e,i,o,u}{t,g,r} | node example/stream.js
buf[16]=cat cag car cet
buf[16]=ceg cer cit cig
buf[16]=cir cot cog cor
buf[16]=cut cug cur dat
buf[16]=dag dar det deg
buf[16]=der dit dig dir
buf[16]=dot dog dor dut
buf[16]=dug dur fat fag
buf[16]=far fet feg fer
buf[16]=fit fig fir fot
buf[16]=fog for fut fug
buf[16]=fur\x0a\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00

Methods

var block = require('pull-block')

var b = block(opts)

var b = block(size, opts)

Create a new through stream b that outputs chunks of length size or opts.size.

When opts.zeroPadding is false, do not zero-pad the last chunk.

When opts.emitEmpty is true (default is false), emit a zero-sized buffer when the source is empty or only feeds in zero-length buffers.
