stream.js

stream.js is a tiny Javascript library that unlocks a new data structure for you: streams.

What's so special about them?

Streams are an easy to use data structure similar to arrays and linked lists, but with some extraordinary capabilities. Unlike arrays, streams are a magical data structure:

They can have an infinite number of elements!

Yes, you heard right. Their power comes from being lazily evaluated, which in simple terms means that they can contain infinite items.

Installation

In nodejs:

npm install https://github.com/dionyziz/stream.js.git

In bower:

bower install stream.js

As per bower.json specification, we have defined the source file for stream.js and not a minified version. You can get a minified version from jsDelivr.

Usage

In nodejs:

var Stream = require('stream.js');
var s1 = Stream.make(1,2,3);
var s2 = new Stream();
s2.append(1).append(2).append(3);

In the browser:

<script src="stream.js"></script>
<script>
  var s1 = Stream.make(1,2,3);
  var s2 = new Stream();
  s2.append(1).append(2).append(3);
</script>

or with AMD:

define(function(require) {
  var Stream = require("stream.js");
  Stream.make(1,2,3).print();
});
