ESLint is Now Language-Agnostic: Linting JSON, Markdown, and Beyond
ESLint has added JSON and Markdown linting support with new officially-supported plugins, expanding its versatility beyond JavaScript.
The 'split' npm package is a stream utility that splits a stream of data into a stream of lines or any other delimited chunks. It's useful for processing streams of text data, such as logs or other outputs that are line-delimited.
Splitting stream by newlines
This code sample demonstrates how to use the 'split' package to read data from the standard input and split it into lines. Each line is then logged to the console.
"use strict";
const split = require('split');
process.stdin.pipe(split()).on('data', function (line) {
console.log('Line: ' + line);
});
Custom delimiter
This code sample shows how to use a custom delimiter (';') to split the stream into chunks. Each chunk is logged to the console.
"use strict";
const split = require('split');
process.stdin.pipe(split(';')).on('data', function (chunk) {
console.log('Chunk: ' + chunk);
});
Mapping lines
This code sample uses the 'split' package to map each line of the input to uppercase before emitting it. The mapped lines are logged to the console.
"use strict";
const split = require('split');
function map(line) {
return line.toUpperCase();
}
process.stdin.pipe(split(map)).on('data', function (line) {
console.log('Mapped Line: ' + line);
});
The 'byline' package is similar to 'split' in that it also provides a way to read a stream line by line. However, 'byline' is specifically focused on lines and does not support custom delimiters.
The 'binary-split' package is another alternative to 'split' that is optimized for splitting binary streams. It is similar in functionality but may perform better with binary data.
While 'through2' is not a direct alternative to 'split', it can be used in combination with other stream transformers to achieve similar line splitting functionality. It provides a simple wrapper around Node.js streams Transform to make creating custom transform streams easier.

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 ...
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.
