Overview of this book

A key technology for building web applications and tooling, Node.js brings JavaScript to the server enabling full-stack development in a common language. This fourth edition of the Node Cookbook is updated with the latest Node.js features and the evolution of the Node.js framework ecosystems. This practical guide will help you to get started with creating, debugging, and deploying your Node.js applications and cover solutions to common problems, along with tips to avoid pitfalls. You'll become familiar with the Node.js development model by learning how to handle files and build simple web applications and then explore established and emerging Node.js web frameworks such as Express.js and Fastify. As you advance, you'll discover techniques for detecting problems in your applications, handling security concerns, and deploying your applications to the cloud. This recipe-based guide will help you to easily navigate through various core topics of server-side web application development with Node.js. By the end of this Node book, you'll be well-versed with core Node.js concepts and have gained the knowledge to start building performant and scalable Node.js applications.

Building stream pipelines

The Node.js core stream module provides a pipeline() method. Similar to how we can use the Node.js core stream pipe() method to pipe one stream to another, we can also use the pipeline() method to chain multiple streams together.

Unlike the pipe() method, the pipeline() method also forwards errors, making it easier to handle errors in the stream flow.

This recipe builds upon many of the stream concepts covered by the other recipes in this chapter. We'll create a stream pipeline using the pipeline() method.

Getting ready

  1. First, create a directory to work in named stream-pipelines:
    $ mkdir stream-pipelines
    $ cd stream-pipelines
  2. Create a file named pipeline.js:
    $ touch pipeline.js
  3. We'll also need some sample data to transform. Create a file named file.txt:
    $ touch file.txt
  4. Add some dummy text data to the file.txt file:
    Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.
    Node.js is a JavaScript...
