tiny utility for line per line processing with streams

24 lines (16 loc) 787 B
this is a tiny utility function to help processing readable streams line per line with [NodeJS](http://github.com/ry/node) here is a simple example which explains almost everything var lines = require('lines'); var net = require('net'); net.createServer(function(socket) { socket.setEncoding('utf8'); lines(socket); // here is where the magic happens socket.on('line', function(line) { // line is one line with no trailing \n or \r }); }).listen('/tmp/mysock'); lines doesn't work on non-encoded streams. note that you still can listen to 'data' events on the same stream with no loss of data. install it via npm npm install lines or get the code from [the repository](http://github.com/Floby/node-lines) and link lines.js from your ~/.node_libraries/
