# parallel-transform
[Transform stream](http://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_class_stream_transform_1) for Node.js that allows you to run your transforms
in parallel without changing the order of the output.
npm install parallel-transform
It is easy to use
``` js
var transform = require('parallel-transform');
var stream = transform(10, function(data, callback) { // 10 is the parallism level
setTimeout(function() {
callback(null, data);
}, Math.random() * 1000);
});
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
stream.write(''+i);
}
stream.end();
stream.on('data', function(data) {
console.log(data); // prints 0,1,2,...
});
stream.on('end', function() {
console.log('stream has ended');
});
```
If you run the above example you'll notice that it runs in parallel
(does not take ~1 second between each print) and that the order is preserved
## Stream options
All transforms are Node 0.10 streams. Per default they are created with the options `{objectMode:true}`.
If you want to use your own stream options pass them as the second parameter
``` js
var stream = transform(10, {objectMode:false}, function(data, callback) {
// data is now a buffer
callback(null, data);
});
fs.createReadStream('filename').pipe(stream).pipe(process.stdout);
```
### Unordered
Passing the option `{ordered:false}` will output the data as soon as it's processed by a transform, without waiting to respect the order.
