# debussy | ||

debussy | ||
======= | ||
Simple, fast, and efficient file reader - line by line | ||
Installation | ||
------------ | ||
npm install debussy --save | ||
Overview | ||
-------- | ||
You want to read files line by line. And you cannot be bothered with memory | ||
limitations because of the size of the file. | ||
This module neatly does the trick for you, even if you need to parse a 20 GB log | ||
file. | ||
Usage | ||
----- | ||
```javascript | ||
const Debussy = require('debussy'); | ||
const FileReader = new Debussy('/path/to/file'); | ||
FileReader.on('line', (line) => { | ||
process line... | ||
}); | ||
FileReader.on('end', () => { | ||
do whatever you want after last line has been read... | ||
}); | ||
``` | ||
As of node v6.2.0, `import` statement still not implemented. And not gonna | ||
complicate things transpiling to ES5. | ||
Technical Notes | ||
--------------- | ||
We're using node's built-in streaming, readline, and event emit tech. The module | ||
is tiny. The inspiration for creating this npm package was so I wouldn't have to | ||
keep looking up and repeating the same stream and readline node syntax every | ||
time I needed to parse a file. | ||
Module Name: An Explanation | ||
--------------------------- | ||
Why `debussy`? After researching similar npm modules, I discovered I really | ||
didn't have to write this at all and I could be using someone else's npm package | ||
instead. But that's no fun. And naming the module to indicate its functionality | ||
would have thrown my version into a sea of names like file-reader, line-read, | ||
read-line, stream-line-reader, line-reader-stream, read-by-line, | ||
reader-line-stuff, etc. | ||
I therefore paid homage to one of the greatest composers. | ||
Enjoy! | ||
