# stream-via
Process each chunk of a stream via the supplied function. Useful for meddling inside a stream pipeline. Works in both string/Buffer and object modes.

## Synopsis

Replace all instances of the `a` character with `4`.

```js
const via = require('stream-via')
const fs = require('fs')

process.stdin
  .pipe(via(function (chunk) {
    return chunk.toString().replace(/a/g, '4')
  }))
  .pipe(process.stdout)
```

Output:
```
$ echo 'twat' | node example/simple.js
tw4t
```

### via(throughFunction, [options]) ⇒ [<code>Duplex</code>](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_class_stream_duplex) ⏏
**Kind**: Exported function  
**Params**

- throughFunction [<code>throughFunction</code>](#module_stream-via--via..throughFunction) - a function to process each chunk
- [options] <code>object</code> - passed to the returned stream constructor

<a name="module_stream-via--via.async"></a>

#### via.async(throughFunction, [options]) ⇒ [<code>Duplex</code>](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_class_stream_duplex)
**Kind**: static method of [<code>via</code>](#exp_module_stream-via--via)  
**Params**

- throughFunction [<code>throughFunction</code>](#module_stream-via--via..throughFunction) - a function to process each chunk
- [options] <code>object</code> - passed to the returned stream constructor

<a name="module_stream-via--via..throughFunction"></a>

#### via~throughFunction : <code>function</code>
**Kind**: inner typedef of [<code>via</code>](#exp_module_stream-via--via)  
**Params**

- chunk <code>buffer</code> | <code>string</code>
- enc <code>string</code>
- done <code>function</code> - only used in `via.async`, call it like so: `done(err, returnValue)`.
