# common-streams
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/blockai/common-streams.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/blockai/common-streams)
A collection of useful streams.
## Install
```bash
npm install --save common-streams
```
Requires Node v6+
## Usage
See [./test](./test) directory for more usage examples.
Example:
```javascript
import { HashStream, SizeStream } from 'common-streams'
import concat from 'concat-stream'
const rs = getReadStream() // e.g. fs.createReadStream(...)
const ws = getWriteStream() // e.g. fs.createWriteStream(...)
const sha1Stream = new HashStream('sha1')
const sizeStream = new SizeStream()
rs.pipe(sha1Stream).pipe(concat(([{ digest }]) => {
console.log(digest, '=', '4129def2ea7cb7945ddfbb785969898fca2e34c3')
}))
rs.pipe(sizeStream).pipe(concat(([{ size }]) => {
console.log(size, '=', 2447774)
}))
rs.pipe(ws)
```
### HashStream
Transform stream that operates in object mode and returns a single `{ digest: 'hash digest' }` object.
`new HashStream(algorithm, [, opts])`
**algorithm**: any algorithm supported by [crypto.createHash](https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_crypto_createhash_algorithm)
**opts.encoding**: any encoding supported by [hash.digest](https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_hash_digest_encoding). Defaults to `hex`.
### SizeStream
Transform stream that operates in object mode and returns a single `{
size: 1000 }` object where the size is an integer representing the total
size in bytes of the stream.
`new SizeStream()`
If passed a callback `new SizeStream(cb)` it will just act as a
PassThrough stream and call the callback when it's done.
### RandomStream
`new RandomStream(max)`
Readable stream that emits `max` random bytes before ending.
### DiscardStream
`new DiscardStream(start)`
Swallows all bytes until `start` is reached.
### MeterStream
`new MeterStream(max)`
