Stream

Streams constitute the building topology graph, and define how the building works. Treat it as a node.

How does it work

A stream involves a transformer.

new Stream(new Transformer())

Setup a building topology graph whatever you want:

stream1.connect(stream2).connect(stream3)
stream2.connect(stream4).connect(stream5)

The codes above constitute a graph:

stream1---------stream2---------stream3
                   |
                   |
                   |
                stream4---------stream5

Or you can just pipe a transformer without a stream wrapper:

stream1.pipe(transformer2).pipe(transformer3)

Startup the building:

stream1.freeze().flow(files)

In most cases you don't have to use it directly.
