Non-blocking stdout stream
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
npm install stdout-stream

## Rant
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Try saving this example as `example.js`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` js
|
||
|
|
console.error('start');
|
||
|
|
process.stdout.write(new Buffer(1024*1024));
|
||
|
|
console.error('end');
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And run the following program
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
node example.js | sleep 1000
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The program will never print `end` since stdout in node currently is blocking - even when its being piped (!).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
stdout-stream tries to fix this by being a stream that writes to stdout but never blocks
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` js
|
||
|
|
var stdout = require('stdout-stream');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
stdout.write('hello\n'); // write should NEVER block
|
||
|
|
stdout.write('non-blocking\n')
|
||
|
|
stdout.write('world\n');
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`stdout-stream` should behave in the same way as `process.stdout` (i.e. do not end on pipe etc)
