Frequently Asked Questions

What does through2 do?

Through2 is a tiny, efficient Node.js library that wraps around the streams.Transform interface. This allows for an easy-to-use way to handle stream transforms without the complications and verbosity of subclassing. Inspired by Dominic Tarr's 'through' package, through2 offers an easier way to create a stream out of a function. Its main use is in systems and processes dealing with stream manipulation or transformation, such as reading files, transforming data, and feeding the transformed results into a writeable stream.

How do you use through2?

The use of through2 is straightforward and revolves around passing in a transform function. Here’s a code example of through2 being used to read from a file, manipulate the data, and then write to another file:

const through2 = require('through2');
const fs = require('fs');

fs.createReadStream('ex.txt')
  .pipe(through2(function (chunk, enc, callback) {
    for (let i = 0; i < chunk.length; i++)
      if (chunk[i] == 97)
        chunk[i] = 122 // swap 'a' for 'z'
    this.push(chunk)
    callback()
  }))
  .pipe(fs.createWriteStream('out.txt'))
  .on('finish', () => console.log('Done!'));

The second code example shows an object stream:

const all = [];
fs.createReadStream('data.csv')
  .pipe(csv2())
  .pipe(through2.obj(function (chunk, enc, callback) {
    const data = {
        name    : chunk[0],
        address : chunk[3],
        phone   : chunk[10]
    }
    this.push(data)
    callback()
  }))
  .on('data', (data) => {
    all.push(data)
  })
  .on('end', () => {
    console.log(all)
  })

These examples show through2 working with both plain data and object streams.

Where are the through2 docs?

The documentation for through2 is contained within its Readme file on Github, specifically at https://github.com/rvagg/through2. A detailed explanation of the API, including its methods and options, is provided. For a complete understanding of through2’s transform and flush functions, refer to the stream.Transform documentation on the Node.js official site at https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_class_stream_transform.
