Blue sky. Let’s make something wonderful!

Pardon our mess! The deprecation of Deno.run is both a blessing and a curse. Deno.Command is a great improvement … and it breaks pretty much everything. I was going to have to redo the old library as it had gone in some wrong directions.

  • The old API will remain available, unchanged, until Deno 2.0 is released.
  • When Deno 2.0 is release, the mod.ts for the old library will be relocated. Imports will have to change, but it will still work with Deno 1.0.
  • The old API will not be upgraded to work with Deno.Command. Once Deno.run is removed, the old API will no longer function.

See Legacy Documentation for the old documentation.

I am working on a new version of this library that makes common usage patterns in Deno.Command much easier.

For now, this is a work in progress. Refer to count-words.test for a good usage example if you want to try this out.

Topics

  • Buffered versus non-buffered. Is this a thing now?
    • looks like chunks are not buffered, so need to look into that.
  • Iterables.
    • Convert from iterable to ReadableStream.
    • ReadableStream is just an AsyncIterable.
    • Using AsyncIterables rather than TransformStreams.
      • Error propagation? Is it possible to do cleanly? Abort the writablestream maybe?
  • Conversions.
    • to text
    • to lines
    • from text back to bytes
    • TransformStream examples and explanation.
  • Tee and merge streams.
  • Error handling and stream error propagation. cat warandpeace.txt | head -n 50 | wc -l
  • Stream performance. Why it probably makes sense not to convert to AsyncIterable.
  • Bashisms:
    • ??? one thing at a time as it comes up

Questions

  • How do I combine TransformStreams? A. Use functions.
