# writable-consumable-stream
An async stream which can be iterated over using a for-await-of loop and which can be written to.

The `WritableConsumableStream` class extends the `ConsumableStream` class.
See https://github.com/SocketCluster/consumable-stream

## Installation

```
npm install writable-consumable-stream
```

## Usage

### Require

```js
const WritableConsumableStream = require('writable-consumable-stream');
```

### Consume a stream and write to it asynchronously:

```js
let consumableStream = new WritableConsumableStream();

async function consumeAsyncIterable(asyncIterable) {
// Consume iterable data asynchronously.
for await (let packet of asyncIterable) {
console.log('Packet:', packet);
}
}
consumeAsyncIterable(consumableStream);

setInterval(() => {
// Write data to the stream asynchronously,
consumableStream.write(`Timestamp: ${Date.now()}`);
}, 100);
```

### Consume a stream using a while loop:

```js
let consumableStream = new WritableConsumableStream();

async function consumeAsyncIterable(asyncIterable) {
// Consume iterable data asynchronously.
// Works in older environments.
let asyncIterator = asyncIterable.createConsumer();
while (true) {
let packet = await asyncIterator.next();
if (packet.done) break;
console.log('Packet:', packet.value);
}
}
consumeAsyncIterable(consumableStream);

setInterval(() => {
// Write data to the stream asynchronously,
consumableStream.write(`Timestamp: ${Date.now()}`);
}, 100);
```

### Consume a filtered stream using an async generator:

```js
let consumableStream = new WritableConsumableStream();

// Creates an async generator which only produces packets which are allowed by the
// specified filterFunction.
async function* createFilteredStreamGenerator(fullStream, filterFunction) {
for await (let packet of fullStream) {
if (filterFunction(packet)) {
yield packet;
}
}
}

async function consumeAsyncIterable(asyncIterable) {
// Consume iterable data asynchronously.
for await (let packet of asyncIterable) {
console.log('Packet:', packet);
}
}

// The filter function will only include strings which end with the number 5.
function filterFn(data) {
return /5$/.test(data);
}
let filteredStreamGenerator = createFilteredStreamGenerator(consumableStream, filterFn);

consumeAsyncIterable(filteredStreamGenerator);

setInterval(() => {
// Write data to the stream asynchronously,
consumableStream.write(`Timestamp: ${Date.now()}`);
}, 100);
```

### Consume only the next data object which will be written to the stream:

```js
let consumableStream = new WritableConsumableStream();

(async () => {
let data = await consumableStream.once();
console.log(data);
})();

setInterval(() => {
// Write data to the stream asynchronously,
consumableStream.write(`Timestamp: ${Date.now()}`);
}, 100);
```
