What is merge-stream?

The merge-stream npm package is used to create a stream that emits events from multiple other streams. This is useful when you want to handle multiple streams as if they were a single stream, for example, when you are dealing with multiple sources of data or tasks in a build process.

What are merge-stream's main functionalities?

Merging multiple streams

This feature allows you to merge multiple streams into one. In the code sample, `stream1` and `stream2` are merged into `mergedStream`. You can then listen to events from `mergedStream` as if it was a single stream.

var stream1 = source1.pipe(transform1);
var stream2 = source2.pipe(transform2);
var mergedStream = mergeStream(stream1, stream2);
mergedStream.on('data', function(data) {
  console.log(data);
});

Adding streams dynamically

This feature allows you to add streams to the merged stream dynamically. Initially, `mergedStream` is created without any sources. Streams `stream1` and `stream2` are then created and added to `mergedStream` dynamically.

var mergedStream = mergeStream();

var stream1 = source1.pipe(transform1);
mergedStream.add(stream1);

var stream2 = source2.pipe(transform2);
mergedStream.add(stream2);
