@most/adapter
Most.js emphasizes declarative event streams, which have many advantages such as helping to avoid race conditions. However, getting data into a Most.js event stream graph from third-party libraries designed without that approach in mind can be tricky. Often, forcing a library into that model leads to a messy solution.
When You Should Use It
@most/adapter provides a disciplined, imperative API for getting external data into a most.js stream. The goal is to make it simpler to integrate libraries that don’t lend themselves to a declarative approach. @most/adapter works well for cases where you can’t just implement the standard run() interface.
If you are looking to translate Node.js streams into Most.js streams, take a look at the community-provided most-node-streams library.
Get It
npm install --save @most/adapter
yarn add @most/adapterAPI
Adapter<A, B>
type Adapter<A, B> = [(event: A) => void, Stream<B>]An adapter is an entangled pair of an event stream, and a function to induce (cause) events in that stream.
createAdapter :: () → Adapter<A, A>
Create an Adapter.
const [induce, events] = createAdapter<string>()
// Cause an event with value "hello" to occur in events.
induce('hello')
// Cause an event with value "world" to occur in events.
induce('world')
