JarCastingtrough
trough /trôf/ — a channel used to convey a liquid.
trough is like ware with less sugar, and middleware functions can change the input of the next.
Install
npm:
npm install trough
Use
var fs = require('fs')
var path = require('path')
var trough = require('trough')
var pipeline = trough()
.use(function(fileName) {
console.log('Checking… ' + fileName)
})
.use(function(fileName) {
return path.join(process.cwd(), fileName)
})
.use(function(filePath, next) {
fs.stat(filePath, function(err, stats) {
next(err, {filePath, stats})
})
})
.use(function(ctx, next) {
if (ctx.stats.isFile()) {
fs.readFile(ctx.filePath, next)
} else {
next(new Error('Expected file'))
}
})
pipeline.run('readme.md', console.log)
pipeline.run('node_modules', console.log)
Yields:
Checking… readme.md
Checking… node_modules
Error: Expected file

API
trough()
Create a new Trough.
trough.wrap(middleware, callback[, …input])
Call middleware with all input. If middleware accepts more arguments than given in input, and extra done function is passed in after the input when calling it. It must be called.
The first value in input is called the main input value. All other input values are called the rest input values. The values given to callback are the input values, merged with every non-nullish output value.
- If
middlewarethrows an error, returns a promise that is rejected, or calls the givendonefunction with an error,callbackis invoked with that error - If
middlewarereturns a value or returns a promise that is resolved, that value is the main output value - If
middlewarecallsdone, all non-nullish values except for the first one (the error) overwrite the output values
Trough
A pipeline.
Trough#run([input…, ]done)
Run the pipeline (all use()d middleware). Invokes done on completion with either an error or the output of the last middleware.
Note! as the length of input defines whether async functions get a
nextfunction, it’s recommended to keepinputat one value normally.
function done(err?, [output…])
The final handler passed to run(), invoked with an error if a middleware function rejected, passed, or threw one, or the output of the last middleware function.
Trough#use(fn)
Add fn, a middleware function, to the pipeline.
function fn([input…, ][next])
A middleware function invoked with the output of its predecessor.
Synchronous
If fn returns or throws an error, the pipeline fails and done is invoked with that error.
If fn returns a value (neither null nor undefined), the first input of the next function is set to that value (all other input is passed through).
The following example shows how returning an error stops the pipeline:
var trough = require('trough')
trough()
.use(function(val) {
return new Error('Got: ' + val)
})
.run('some value', console.log)
Yields:
Error: Got: some value
at ~/example.js:5:12
…
The following example shows how throwing an error stops the pipeline:
var trough = require('trough')
trough()
.use(function(val) {
throw new Error('Got: ' + val)
})
.run('more value', console.log)
Yields:
Error: Got: more value
at ~/example.js:5:11
…
The following example shows how the first output can be modified:
var trough = require('trough')
trough()
.use(function(val) {
return 'even ' + val
})
.run('more value', 'untouched', console.log)
Yields:
null 'even more value' 'untouched'
Promise
If fn returns a promise, and that promise rejects, the pipeline fails and done is invoked with the rejected value.
If fn returns a promise, and that promise resolves with a value (neither null nor undefined), the first input of the next function is set to that value (all other input is passed through).
The following example shows how rejecting a promise stops the pipeline:
var trough = require('trough')
trough()
.use(function(val) {
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
reject('Got: ' + val)
})
})
.run('val', console.log)
Yields:
Got: val
The following example shows how the input isn’t touched by resolving to null.
var trough = require('trough')
trough()
.use(function() {
return new Promise(function(resolve) {
setTimeout(function() {
resolve(null)
}, 100)
})
})
.run('Input', console.log)
Yields:
null 'Input'
Asynchronous
If fn accepts one more argument than the given input, a next function is given (after the input). next must be called, but doesn’t have to be called async.
If next is given a value (neither null nor undefined) as its first argument, the pipeline fails and done is invoked with that value.
If next is given no value (either null or undefined) as the first argument, all following non-nullish values change the input of the following function, and all nullish values default to the input.
The following example shows how passing a first argument stops the pipeline:
var trough = require('trough')
trough()
.use(function(val, next) {
next(new Error('Got: ' + val))
})
.run('val', console.log)
Yields:
Error: Got: val
at ~/example.js:5:10
The following example shows how more values than the input are passed.
var trough = require('trough')
trough()
.use(function(val, next) {
setTimeout(function() {
next(null, null, 'values')
}, 100)
})
.run('some', console.log)
Yields:
null 'some' 'values'
