web-byline

Line-by-line Stream transformer for web

(A ported version of jahewson/node-byline for using with whatwg streams)
If you want to use byLine in node, then i recomend jahewson package

Currently only ReadableStream is implemented in Blink. TransformStream + WritableStream are on the way to be finilized. Until then you need web-stream-polyfill

The byline module can be used as a function to quickly pipe throught a readable stream to a WritableStream:

``javascript
rs = new ReadableStream({...})
ws = new WritableStream({ write: console.log }

rs.pipeThrough(byLine())
.pipeTo(ws)
`

To read a large CSV from a file (or input) for example you can include Screw-FileReader to turn a blob into a stream

Example here: https://jsfiddle.net/gp802r79/

And below:
`javascript
file = new File([content], 'large data.csv')
stdout = new WritableStream({ write: console.log }

file
.stream()
.pipeThrough(byLine())
.pipeTo(stdout)
`

Empty Lines

byline skips empty lines

Unlike other modules (of which there are many), web-byline contains no:

- monkeypatching
- dependencies (except for stream polyfill)
- CoffeeScript
- Unnecessary code
- minifed version
- es6-to-es5 transformation
- I expect you to write decent code and use const, let, classes` and all that and simply include this in your own build process since you are probably going to minify it anyway.
- So a decient browser won't suffer cuz of other.
