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.
npm:
npm install trough
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

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-nully
output value.
middleware
throws an error, returns a promise that is rejected, or
calls the given done
function with an error, callback
is invoked with
that errormiddleware
returns a value or returns a promise that is resolved, that
value is the main output valuemiddleware
calls done
, all non-nully values except for the first one
(the error) overwrite the output valuesTrough
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
next
function, it’s recommended to keepinput
at 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.
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'
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'
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-nully values change the input of the following
function, and all nully 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'
