Split2(matcher, mapper, options)

Break up a stream and reassemble it so that each line is a chunk. split2 is inspired by @dominictarr split module, and it is totally API compatible with it. However, it is based on through2 by @rvagg and it is fully based on Stream2.

matcher may be a String, or a RegExp. Example, read every line in a file ...

  fs.createReadStream(file)
    .pipe(split2())
    .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

split takes an optional options object on it's third argument, which is directly passed as a Transform option.

Calling .destroy will make the stream emit close. Use this to perform cleanup logic

var splitFile = function(filename) {
  var file = fs.createReadStream(filename)

  return file
    .pipe(split2())
    .on('close', function() {
      // destroy the file stream in case the split stream was destroyed
      file.destroy()
    })
}

var stream = splitFile('my-file.txt')

stream.destroy() // will destroy the input file stream

split2 accepts a function which transforms each line.

fs.createReadStream(file)
  .pipe(split2(JSON.parse))
  .on('data', function (obj) {
    //each chunk now is a a js object
  })
