#through

Easy way to create a `Stream` that is both `readable` and `writable`.

- Pass in optional `write` and `end` methods.
- `through` takes care of pause/resume logic if you use `this.queue(data)` instead of ‘this.emit('data’, data)`.`
- `Use`this.pause()`and`this.resume()`to manage flow.`
- `Check`this.paused<tt>to see current flow state. (write`always returns`!this.paused`).

This function is the basis for most of the synchronous streams in event-stream.

var through = require('through')
through(function write(data) {
this.queue(data) //data *must* not be null
},
function end () { //optional
this.queue(null)
})

Or, can also be used without buffering on pause, use ‘this.emit('data’, data)‘, and this.emit('end’)

var through = require('through')
through(function write(data) {
this.emit('data', data)
//this.pause()
},
function end () { //optional
this.emit('end')
})

## Extended Options

You will probably not need these 99% of the time.

### autoDestroy=false

By default, `through` emits close when the writable and readable side of the stream has ended. If that is not desired, set `autoDestroy=false`.

var through = require('through')
//like this
var ts = through(write, end, {autoDestroy: false})
//or like this
var ts = through(write, end)
ts.autoDestroy = false
