Streamify

streamify utilises Node Streams and Transformers to build versatile microservice application infrastructures designed for efficient data transfer and processing utilising pipe-n-filters approach.

Installation

npm i -g node-streamify, then call streamify from command line

If you have NATS up and running try streamify FILENAME nats:4222/file-transfer to make a file available for download.

You can then download it (on another machine or tty) using streamify nats:4222/file-transfer copy.txt.

Usage

streamify [[-w worker]] [target]

- -w --worker a (chain of) workload(s) implementing { Transform } from 'stream' interface. Optional, multiple choice, order matters.
Built-in workers include:
- -w gzip maps to require('node:zlib').createGzip()
- -w slow [(N,n-N)] slows down throughput by specified ms using setTimeout
- [target] - If only one option is given it is considered to be the source.
The syntax is PROTOCOL:OPTIONS. If the protocol is empty, while the value itself is not, protocol defaults to file, empty value defaults to std (stdin for source, stdout for target).
Built-in protocols are:
- std and file
- nats: open source data layer for microservices architectures
- streamify FILENAME nats:4222/file-transfer et vice versa

Examples

- homemade cp:
- streamify SOURCEFILE COPY
- homemade cat:
- streamify FILE
- sed with A LOT of extra hoops (add -w's as you please):
- FILE | streamify std RESULTFILE
