+# from2 [![Flattr this!](https://api.flattr.com/button/flattr-badge-large.png)](https://flattr.com/submit/auto?user_id=hughskennedy&url=http://github.com/hughsk/from2&title=from2&description=hughsk/from2%20on%20GitHub&language=en_GB&tags=flattr,github,javascript&category=software)[![experimental](http://hughsk.github.io/stability-badges/dist/experimental.svg)](http://github.com/hughsk/stability-badges) #
+
+`from2` is a high-level module for creating readable streams that properly handle backpressure.
+
+Convience wrapper for
+[readable-stream](http://github.com/isaacs/readable-stream)'s `ReadableStream`
+base class, with an API lifted from
+[from](http://github.com/dominictarr/from) and
+[through2](http://github.com/rvagg/through2).
+
+## Usage ##
+
+[![from2](https://nodei.co/npm/from2.png?mini=true)](https://nodei.co/npm/from2)
+
+### `stream = from2([opts], read)` ###
+
+Where `opts` are the options to pass on to the `ReadableStream` constructor,
+and `read(size, next)` is called when data is requested from the stream.
+
+* `size` is the recommended amount of data (in bytes) to retrieve.
+* `next(err)` should be called when you're ready to emit more data.
+
+For example, here's a readable stream that emits the contents of a given
+string:
+
+``` javascript
+var from = require('from2')
+
+function fromString(string) {
+ return from(function(size, next) {
+ // if there's no more content
+ // left in the string, close the stream.
+ if (string.length <= 0) return next(null, null)
+
+ // Pull in a new chunk of text,
+ // removing it from the string.
+ var chunk = string.slice(0, size)
+ string = string.slice(size)
+
+ // Emit "chunk" from the stream.
+ next(null, chunk)
+ })
+}
+
+// pipe "hello world" out
+// to stdout.
+fromString('hello world').pipe(process.stdout)
+```
+
+### `stream = from2.obj([opts], read)` ###
+
+Shorthand for `from2({ objectMode: true }, read)`.
+
+### `createStream = from2.ctor([opts], read)` ###
+
+If you're creating similar streams in quick succession you can improve
+performance by generating a stream **constructor** that you can reuse instead
+of creating one-off streams on each call.
+
+Takes the same options as `from2`, instead returning a constructor which you
+can use to create new streams.
