query-stream

create autosuggest widgets with a async function.

create a query stream:

`` js
var query = require('query-stream')
var qs = query(function (query, cb) {
//make request to
make_query_to_wherever(query, cb)
})

`

then, write queries to it:

` js
qs.write('samestuth')

//if you change your query it retries the search

qs.write('some stuff')
`

output chunks will look like this:

` js
//assuming get(q, cb) calls back a string
"samestuff not found",
"CLEAR", //this means new results
"stuff1",
"stuff2",
etc..
`
"CLEAR" is a special message.
it means that the following is a new response,
and the display should clear previous elements.




UI

Pipe a input field into this, and out to a list.
NOTE, this stuff isn't implemented yet!
But it will look something like this:
`` js
//input-stream creates a stream of DOM events.
inputStream('#query', 'onchange', function (e) {
return e.value
}).pipe(qs)
//element stream adds elements to a given root Element.
.pipe(elementStream('#results', function (e) {
if(e === 'CLEAR')
return this.root.removeAllChildren()
return '

'+e+'

'
})
