| 21 | +# Strided Array Stream |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +> Create a [readable stream][readable-stream] from a strided array-like value. |
| 24 | +
|
| 25 | +<section class="usage"> |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## Usage |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +```javascript |
| 30 | +var stridedArrayStream = require( '@stdlib/streams/node/from-strided-array' ); |
| 31 | +``` |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +<a name="strided-array-stream"></a> |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +#### stridedArrayStream( N, buffer, stride, offset\[, options] ) |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Returns a [readable stream][readable-stream] from a strided `array`-like value. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +```javascript |
| 40 | +var inspectStream = require( '@stdlib/streams/node/inspect-sink' ); |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +function log( chunk ) { |
| 43 | + console.log( chunk.toString() ); |
| 44 | +} |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +var stream = stridedArrayStream( 4, [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], 1, 0 ); |
| 47 | +var iStream = inspectStream( log ); |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +stream.pipe( iStream ); |
| 50 | +``` |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +The function accepts the following `options`: |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +- **objectMode**: specifies whether a [stream][stream] should operate in [objectMode][object-mode]. Default: `false`. |
| 55 | +- **encoding**: specifies how `Buffer` objects should be decoded to `strings`. Default: `null`. |
| 56 | +- **highWaterMark**: specifies the maximum number of bytes to store in an internal buffer before pausing streaming. |
| 57 | +- **sep**: separator used to join streamed data. This option is only applicable when a stream is **not** in [objectMode][object-mode]. Default: `'\n'`. |
| 58 | +- **serialize**: custom serialization function. This option is only applicable when a stream is **not** in [objectMode][object-mode]. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +To set [stream][stream] `options`, |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +```javascript |
| 63 | +var opts = { |
| 64 | + 'objectMode': true, |
| 65 | + 'encoding': 'utf8', |
| 66 | + 'highWaterMark': 64 |
| 67 | +}; |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +var stream = stridedArrayStream( 4, [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], 1, 0, opts ); |
| 70 | +``` |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +By default, when not operating in [objectMode][object-mode], a returned [stream][stream] delineates individual values using a newline character. To specify an alternative separator, set the `sep` option. |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +```javascript |
| 75 | +var inspectStream = require( '@stdlib/streams/node/inspect-sink' ); |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +function log( chunk ) { |
| 78 | + console.log( chunk.toString() ); |
| 79 | +} |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +var stream = stridedArrayStream( 4, [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], 1, 0, { |
| 82 | + 'sep': ',' |
| 83 | +}); |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +var iStream = inspectStream( log ); |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +stream.pipe( iStream ); |
| 88 | +``` |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +By default, when not operating in [objectMode][object-mode], a returned [stream][stream] serializes values as JSON strings. To specify custom serialization behavior (either to a `string` or `Buffer`), set the `serialize` option. |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +```javascript |
| 93 | +var inspectStream = require( '@stdlib/streams/node/inspect-sink' ); |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +function serialize( v ) { |
| 96 | + return 'v::' + v.toString(); |
| 97 | +} |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +function log( chunk ) { |
| 100 | + console.log( chunk.toString() ); |
| 101 | +} |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +var stream = stridedArrayStream( 4, [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], 1, 0, { |
| 104 | + 'serialize': serialize |
| 105 | +}); |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +var iStream = inspectStream( log ); |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +stream.pipe( iStream ); |
| 110 | +``` |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +* * * |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +#### stridedArrayStream.factory( \[options] ) |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +Returns a `function` for creating [readable streams][readable-stream] from strided array-like values. |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +```javascript |
| 119 | +var opts = { |
| 120 | + 'objectMode': true, |
| 121 | + 'encoding': 'utf8', |
| 122 | + 'highWaterMark': 64 |
| 123 | +}; |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +var createStream = stridedArrayStream.factory( opts ); |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +var stream1 = createStream( 2, [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], 2, 1 ); |
| 128 | +var stream2 = createStream( 3, [ 5, 6, 7, 8 ], 1, 1 ); |
| 129 | +// ... |
| 130 | +``` |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +The method accepts the same `options` as [`stridedArrayStream()`](#strided-array-stream). |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +* * * |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +#### stridedArrayStream.objectMode( N, buffer, stride, offset\[, options] ) |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +This method is a convenience function to create [streams][stream] which **always** operate in [objectMode][object-mode]. |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +```javascript |
| 141 | +var inspectStream = require( '@stdlib/streams/node/inspect-sink' ); |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +function log( v ) { |
| 144 | + console.log( v ); |
| 145 | +} |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +var stream = stridedArrayStream.objectMode( 4, [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ], 1, 0 ); |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +var opts = { |
| 150 | + 'objectMode': true |
| 151 | +}; |
| 152 | +var iStream = inspectStream( opts, log ); |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | +stream.pipe( iStream ); |
| 155 | +``` |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +This method accepts the same `options` as [`stridedArrayStream()`](#strided-array-stream); however, the method will **always** override the [`objectMode`][object-mode] option in `options`. |

| 167 | +## Notes |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +- In [`objectMode`][object-mode], `null` is a reserved value. If an `array` contains `null` values (e.g., as a means to encode missing values), the stream will prematurely end. Consider an alternative encoding or filter `null` values prior to invocation. |
| 170 | +- In binary mode, if an `array` contains `undefined` values, the stream will emit an error. Consider providing a custom serialization function or filtering `undefined` values prior to invocation. |
