# Split (matcher)
|
||
|
|
||
|
[![build status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/dominictarr/split.png)](http://travis-ci.org/dominictarr/split)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Break up a stream and reassemble it so that each line is a chunk. matcher may be a `String`, or a `RegExp`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Example, read every line in a file ...
|
||
|
|
||
|
``` js
|
||
|
fs.createReadStream(file)
|
||
|
.pipe(split())
|
||
|
.on('data', function (line) {
|
||
|
//each chunk now is a seperate line!
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
`split` takes the same arguments as `string.split` except it defaults to '/\r?\n/' instead of ',', and the optional `limit` paremeter is ignored.
|
||
|
[String#split](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/split)
|
||
|
|
||
|
`split` takes an optional options object on it's third argument.
|
||
|
|
||
|
``` js
|
||
|
split(matcher, mapper, options)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Valid options:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* maxLength - The maximum buffer length without seeing a newline or `matcher`,
|
||
|
if a single line exceeds this, the split stream will emit an error.
|
||
|
|
||
|
``` js
|
||
|
split(JSON.parse, null, { maxLength: 2})
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## keep matched splitter
|
||
|
|
||
|
As with `Array#split`, if you split by a regular expression with a matching group,
|
||
|
the matches will be retained in the collection.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
stdin
|
||
|
.pipe(split(/(\r?\n)/))
|
||
|
... //lines + separators.
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
|
||
|
`split` accepts a function which transforms each line.
|
||
|
|
||
|
``` js
|
||
|
fs.createReadStream(file)
|
||
|
.pipe(split(JSON.parse))
|
||
|
.on('data', function (obj) {
|
||
|
//each chunk now is a a js object
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
.on('error', function (err) {
|
||
|
//syntax errors will land here
|
||
|
//note, this ends the stream.
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
```
