Elixir v1.8.0-rc.1 Stream View Source
Functions for creating and composing streams.
Streams are composable, lazy enumerables (for an introduction on
enumerables, see the Enum module). Any enumerable that generates
items one by one during enumeration is called a stream. For example,
Elixir's Range is a stream:
iex> range = 1..5
1..5
iex> Enum.map(range, &(&1 * 2))
[2, 4, 6, 8, 10]In the example above, as we mapped over the range, the elements being
enumerated were created one by one, during enumeration. The Stream
module allows us to map the range, without triggering its enumeration:
iex> range = 1..3
iex> stream = Stream.map(range, &(&1 * 2))
iex> Enum.map(stream, &(&1 + 1))
[3, 5, 7]Notice we started with a range and then we created a stream that is
meant to multiply each item in the range by 2. At this point, no
computation was done. Only when Enum.map/2 is called we actually
enumerate over each item in the range, multiplying it by 2 and adding 1.
We say the functions in Stream are lazy and the functions in Enum
are eager.
Due to their laziness, streams are useful when working with large
(or even infinite) collections. When chaining many operations with Enum,
intermediate lists are created, while Stream creates a recipe of
computations that are executed at a later moment. Let's see another
example:
1..3
|> Enum.map(&IO.inspect(&1))
|> Enum.map(&(&1 * 2))
|> Enum.map(&IO.inspect(&1))
1
2
3
2
4
6
#=> [2, 4, 6]Notice that we first printed each item in the list, then multiplied each element by 2 and finally printed each new value. In this example, the list was enumerated three times. Let's see an example with streams:
stream = 1..3
|> Stream.map(&IO.inspect(&1))
|> Stream.map(&(&1 * 2))
|> Stream.map(&IO.inspect(&1))
Enum.to_list(stream)
1
2
2
4
3
6
#=> [2, 4, 6]Although the end result is the same, the order in which the items were printed changed! With streams, we print the first item and then print its double. In this example, the list was enumerated just once!
That's what we meant when we said earlier that streams are composable,
lazy enumerables. Notice we could call Stream.map/2 multiple times,
effectively composing the streams and keeping them lazy. The computations
are only performed when you call a function from the Enum module.
Creating Streams
There are many functions in Elixir's standard library that return streams, some examples are:
IO.stream/2- streams input lines, one by oneURI.query_decoder/1- decodes a query string, pair by pair
This module also provides many convenience functions for creating streams,
like Stream.cycle/1, Stream.unfold/2, Stream.resource/3 and more.
Note the functions in this module are guaranteed to return enumerables. Since enumerables can have different shapes (structs, anonymous functions, and so on), the functions in this module may return any of those shapes and this may change at any time. For example, a function that today returns an anonymous function may return a struct in future releases.

chunk_by(Enumerable.t(), (element() -> any())) :: Enumerable.t()
Chunks the enum by buffering elements for which fun returns the same value.
Elements are only emitted when fun returns a new value or the enum finishes.
Examples
iex> stream = Stream.chunk_by([1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6, 7, 7], &(rem(&1, 2) == 1))
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[[1], [2, 2], [3], [4, 4, 6], [7, 7]]Specs
chunk_every(Enumerable.t(), pos_integer()) :: Enumerable.t()
Shortcut to chunk_every(enum, count, count).
Specs
chunk_every( Enumerable.t(), pos_integer(), pos_integer(), Enumerable.t() | :discard ) :: Enumerable.t()
Streams the enumerable in chunks, containing count items each,
where each new chunk starts step elements into the enumerable.
step is optional and, if not passed, defaults to count, i.e.
chunks do not overlap.
If the last chunk does not have count elements to fill the chunk,
elements are taken from leftover to fill in the chunk. If leftover
does not have enough elements to fill the chunk, then a partial chunk
is returned with less than count elements.
If :discard is given in leftover, the last chunk is discarded
unless it has exactly count elements.
Examples
iex> Stream.chunk_every([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 2) |> Enum.to_list()
[[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]
iex> Stream.chunk_every([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 3, 2, :discard) |> Enum.to_list()
[[1, 2, 3], [3, 4, 5]]
iex> Stream.chunk_every([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 3, 2, [7]) |> Enum.to_list()

iex> Stream.chunk_every([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 3, 3, []) |> Enum.to_list()
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]Specs
chunk_while( Enumerable.t(), acc(), (element(), acc() -> {:cont, chunk, acc()} | {:cont, acc()} | {:halt, acc()}), (acc() -> {:cont, chunk, acc()} | {:cont, acc()}) ) :: Enumerable.t() when chunk: any()
Chunks the enum with fine grained control when every chunk is emitted.
chunk_fun receives the current element and the accumulator and
must return {:cont, element, acc} to emit the given chunk and
continue with accumulator or {:cont, acc} to not emit any chunk
and continue with the return accumulator.
after_fun is invoked when iteration is done and must also return
{:cont, element, acc} or {:cont, acc}.
Examples
iex> chunk_fun = fn item, acc ->
...> if rem(item, 2) == 0 do
...> {:cont, Enum.reverse([item | acc]), []}
...> else
...> {:cont, [item | acc]}
...> end
...> end
iex> after_fun = fn
...> [] -> {:cont, []}
...> acc -> {:cont, Enum.reverse(acc), []}
...> end

iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]Specs
concat(Enumerable.t(), Enumerable.t()) :: Enumerable.t()
Creates a stream that enumerates the first argument, followed by the second.

Creates a stream that cycles through the given enumerable, infinitely.
Examples
iex> stream = Stream.cycle([1, 2, 3])
iex> Enum.take(stream, 5)
[1, 2, 3, 1, 2]Specs
dedup(Enumerable.t()) :: Enumerable.t()
Creates a stream that only emits elements if they are different from the last emitted element.
This function only ever needs to store the last emitted element.
Elements are compared using ===/2.
Examples
iex> Stream.dedup([1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1]) |> Enum.to_list()
[1, 2, 3, 2, 1]Specs
dedup_by(Enumerable.t(), (element() -> term())) :: Enumerable.t()
Creates a stream that only emits elements if the result of calling fun on the element is
different from the (stored) result of calling fun on the last emitted element.
Examples
iex> Stream.dedup_by([{1, :x}, {2, :y}, {2, :z}, {1, :x}], fn {x, _} -> x end) |> Enum.to_list()
[{1, :x}, {2, :y}, {1, :x}]Specs
drop(Enumerable.t(), non_neg_integer()) :: Enumerable.t()
Lazily drops the next n items from the enumerable.
If a negative n is given, it will drop the last n items from
the collection. Note that the mechanism by which this is implemented
will delay the emission of any item until n additional items have
been emitted by the enum.
Examples
iex> stream = Stream.drop(1..10, 5)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
iex> stream = Stream.drop(1..10, -5)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Specs
drop_every(Enumerable.t(), non_neg_integer()) :: Enumerable.t()
Creates a stream that drops every nth item from the enumerable.
The first item is always dropped, unless nth is 0.
nth must be a non-negative integer.
Examples
iex> stream = Stream.drop_every(1..10, 2)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
iex> stream = Stream.drop_every(1..1000, 1)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[]
iex> stream = Stream.drop_every([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 0)

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Specs
drop_while(Enumerable.t(), (element() -> as_boolean(term()))) :: Enumerable.t()
Lazily drops elements of the enumerable while the given function returns a truthy value.
Examples
iex> stream = Stream.drop_while(1..10, &(&1 <= 5))
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[6, 7, 8, 9, 10]Specs
each(Enumerable.t(), (element() -> term())) :: Enumerable.t()
Executes the given function for each item.
Useful for adding side effects (like printing) to a stream.
Examples
iex> stream = Stream.each([1, 2, 3], fn x -> send(self(), x) end)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
iex> receive do: (x when is_integer(x) -> x)
1
iex> receive do: (x when is_integer(x) -> x)
2
iex> receive do: (x when is_integer(x) -> x)
3Specs
filter(Enumerable.t(), (element() -> as_boolean(term()))) :: Enumerable.t()
Creates a stream that filters elements according to the given function on enumeration.
Examples
iex> stream = Stream.filter([1, 2, 3], fn x -> rem(x, 2) == 0 end)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[2]Specs
flat_map(Enumerable.t(), (element() -> Enumerable.t())) :: Enumerable.t()
Maps the given fun over enumerable and flattens the result.
This function returns a new stream built by appending the result of invoking fun
on each element of enumerable together.
Examples
iex> stream = Stream.flat_map([1, 2, 3], fn x -> [x, x * 2] end)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[1, 2, 2, 4, 3, 6]
iex> stream = Stream.flat_map([1, 2, 3], fn x -> [[x]] end)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[[1], [2], [3]]Specs
intersperse(Enumerable.t(), any()) :: Enumerable.t()
Lazily intersperses intersperse_element between each element of the enumeration.
Examples
iex> Stream.intersperse([1, 2, 3], 0) |> Enum.to_list()
[1, 0, 2, 0, 3]
iex> Stream.intersperse([1], 0) |> Enum.to_list()
[1]
iex> Stream.intersperse([], 0) |> Enum.to_list()
[]Specs
interval(non_neg_integer()) :: Enumerable.t()
Creates a stream that emits a value after the given period n
in milliseconds.
The values emitted are an increasing counter starting at 0.
This operation will block the caller by the given interval
every time a new item is streamed.
Do not use this function to generate a sequence of numbers.
If blocking the caller process is not necessary, use
Stream.iterate(0, & &1 + 1) instead.
Examples
iex> Stream.interval(10) |> Enum.take(10)
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]Specs
into(Enumerable.t(), Collectable.t(), (term() -> term())) :: Enumerable.t()
Injects the stream values into the given collectable as a side-effect.
This function is often used with run/1 since any evaluation
is delayed until the stream is executed. See run/1 for an example.
Specs
iterate(element(), (element() -> element())) :: Enumerable.t()
Emits a sequence of values, starting with start_value. Successive
values are generated by calling next_fun on the previous value.
Examples
iex> Stream.iterate(0, &(&1 + 1)) |> Enum.take(5)
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]Specs
map(Enumerable.t(), (element() -> any())) :: Enumerable.t()
Creates a stream that will apply the given function on enumeration.
Examples
iex> stream = Stream.map([1, 2, 3], fn x -> x * 2 end)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[2, 4, 6]Specs
map_every(Enumerable.t(), non_neg_integer(), (element() -> any())) :: Enumerable.t()
Creates a stream that will apply the given function on
every nth item from the enumerable.
The first item is always passed to the given function.
nth must be a non-negative integer.
Examples
iex> stream = Stream.map_every(1..10, 2, fn x -> x * 2 end)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[2, 2, 6, 4, 10, 6, 14, 8, 18, 10]
iex> stream = Stream.map_every([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 1, fn x -> x * 2 end)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
iex> stream = Stream.map_every(1..5, 0, fn x -> x * 2 end)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Specs
reject(Enumerable.t(), (element() -> as_boolean(term()))) :: Enumerable.t()
Creates a stream that will reject elements according to the given function on enumeration.
Examples
iex> stream = Stream.reject([1, 2, 3], fn x -> rem(x, 2) == 0 end)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[1, 3]Specs
repeatedly((() -> element())) :: Enumerable.t()
Returns a stream generated by calling generator_fun repeatedly.
Examples
# Although not necessary, let's seed the random algorithm
iex> :rand.seed(:exsplus, {1, 2, 3})
iex> Stream.repeatedly(&:rand.uniform/0) |> Enum.take(3)
[0.40502929729990744, 0.45336720247823126, 0.04094511692041057]Specs
resource( (() -> acc()), (acc() -> {[element()], acc()} | {:halt, acc()}), (acc() -> term()) ) :: Enumerable.t()
Emits a sequence of values for the given resource.
Similar to transform/3 but the initial accumulated value is
computed lazily via start_fun and executes an after_fun at
the end of enumeration (both in cases of success and failure).
Successive values are generated by calling next_fun with the
previous accumulator (the initial value being the result returned
by start_fun) and it must return a tuple containing a list
of items to be emitted and the next accumulator. The enumeration
finishes if it returns {:halt, acc}.
As the name says, this function is useful to stream values from resources.
Examples
Stream.resource(
fn -> File.open!("sample") end,
fn file ->
case IO.read(file, :line) do
data when is_binary(data) -> {[data], file}
_ -> {:halt, file}
end
end,
fn file -> File.close(file) end
)Specs
run(Enumerable.t()) :: :ok
Runs the given stream.
This is useful when a stream needs to be run, for side effects, and there is no interest in its return result.
Examples
Open up a file, replace all # by % and stream to another file
without loading the whole file in memory:
File.stream!("/path/to/file")
|> Stream.map(&String.replace(&1, "#", "%"))
|> Stream.into(File.stream!("/path/to/other/file"))
|> Stream.run()No computation will be done until we call one of the Enum functions
or run/1.
Specs
scan(Enumerable.t(), (element(), acc() -> any())) :: Enumerable.t()
Creates a stream that applies the given function to each element, emits the result and uses the same result as the accumulator for the next computation. Uses the first element in the enumerable as the starting value.
Examples
iex> stream = Stream.scan(1..5, &(&1 + &2))
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[1, 3, 6, 10, 15]Specs
scan(Enumerable.t(), acc(), (element(), acc() -> any())) :: Enumerable.t()
Creates a stream that applies the given function to each
element, emits the result and uses the same result as the accumulator
for the next computation. Uses the given acc as the starting value.
Examples
iex> stream = Stream.scan(1..5, 0, &(&1 + &2))
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[1, 3, 6, 10, 15]Specs
take(Enumerable.t(), integer()) :: Enumerable.t()
Lazily takes the next count items from the enumerable and stops
enumeration.
If a negative count is given, the last count values will be taken.
For such, the collection is fully enumerated keeping up to 2 * count
elements in memory. Once the end of the collection is reached,
the last count elements will be executed. Therefore, using
a negative count on an infinite collection will never return.
Examples
iex> stream = Stream.take(1..100, 5)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
iex> stream = Stream.take(1..100, -5)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[96, 97, 98, 99, 100]
iex> stream = Stream.cycle([1, 2, 3]) |> Stream.take(5)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[1, 2, 3, 1, 2]Specs
take_every(Enumerable.t(), non_neg_integer()) :: Enumerable.t()
Creates a stream that takes every nth item from the enumerable.
The first item is always included, unless nth is 0.
nth must be a non-negative integer.
Examples
iex> stream = Stream.take_every(1..10, 2)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
iex> stream = Stream.take_every([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 1)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
iex> stream = Stream.take_every(1..1000, 0)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[]Specs
take_while(Enumerable.t(), (element() -> as_boolean(term()))) :: Enumerable.t()
Lazily takes elements of the enumerable while the given function returns a truthy value.
Examples
iex> stream = Stream.take_while(1..100, &(&1 <= 5))
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Specs
timer(non_neg_integer()) :: Enumerable.t()
Creates a stream that emits a single value after n milliseconds.
The value emitted is 0. This operation will block the caller by
the given time until the item is streamed.
Examples
iex> Stream.timer(10) |> Enum.to_list()
[0]Specs
transform(Enumerable.t(), acc, fun) :: Enumerable.t() when fun: (element(), acc -> {Enumerable.t(), acc} | {:halt, acc}), acc: any()
Transforms an existing stream.
It expects an accumulator and a function that receives each stream item
and an accumulator, and must return a tuple containing a new stream
(often a list) with the new accumulator or a tuple with :halt as first
element and the accumulator as second.
Note: this function is similar to Enum.flat_map_reduce/3 except the
latter returns both the flat list and accumulator, while this one returns
only the stream.
Examples
Stream.transform/3 is useful as it can be used as the basis to implement
many of the functions defined in this module. For example, we can implement
Stream.take(enum, n) as follows:
iex> enum = 1..100
iex> n = 3
iex> stream = Stream.transform(enum, 0, fn i, acc ->
...> if acc < n, do: {[i], acc + 1}, else: {:halt, acc}
...> end)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[1, 2, 3]Specs
transform(Enumerable.t(), (() -> acc), fun, (acc -> term())) :: Enumerable.t() when fun: (element(), acc -> {Enumerable.t(), acc} | {:halt, acc}), acc: any()
Transforms an existing stream with function-based start and finish.
The accumulator is only calculated when transformation starts. It also allows an after function to be given which is invoked when the stream halts or completes.
This function can be seen as a combination of Stream.resource/3 with
Stream.transform/3.
Specs
unfold(acc(), (acc() -> {element(), acc()} | nil)) :: Enumerable.t()
Emits a sequence of values for the given accumulator.
Successive values are generated by calling next_fun with the previous
accumulator and it must return a tuple with the current value and next
accumulator. The enumeration finishes if it returns nil.
Examples
iex> Stream.unfold(5, fn
...> 0 -> nil
...> n -> {n, n - 1}
...> end) |> Enum.to_list()
[5, 4, 3, 2, 1]Specs
uniq(Enumerable.t()) :: Enumerable.t()
Creates a stream that only emits elements if they are unique.
Keep in mind that, in order to know if an element is unique or not, this function needs to store all unique values emitted by the stream. Therefore, if the stream is infinite, the number of items stored will grow infinitely, never being garbage-collected.
Examples
iex> Stream.uniq([1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1]) |> Enum.to_list()
[1, 2, 3]Specs
uniq_by(Enumerable.t(), (element() -> term())) :: Enumerable.t()
Creates a stream that only emits elements if they are unique, by removing the
elements for which function fun returned duplicate items.
The function fun maps every element to a term which is used to
determine if two elements are duplicates.
Keep in mind that, in order to know if an element is unique or not, this function needs to store all unique values emitted by the stream. Therefore, if the stream is infinite, the number of items stored will grow infinitely, never being garbage-collected.
Example
iex> Stream.uniq_by([{1, :x}, {2, :y}, {1, :z}], fn {x, _} -> x end) |> Enum.to_list()
[{1, :x}, {2, :y}]
iex> Stream.uniq_by([a: {:tea, 2}, b: {:tea, 2}, c: {:coffee, 1}], fn {_, y} -> y end) |> Enum.to_list()
[a: {:tea, 2}, c: {:coffee, 1}]Specs
with_index(Enumerable.t(), integer()) :: Enumerable.t()
Creates a stream where each item in the enumerable will be wrapped in a tuple alongside its index.
If an offset is given, we will index from the given offset instead of from zero.
Examples
iex> stream = Stream.with_index([1, 2, 3])
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[{1, 0}, {2, 1}, {3, 2}]
iex> stream = Stream.with_index([1, 2, 3], 3)
iex> Enum.to_list(stream)
[{1, 3}, {2, 4}, {3, 5}]Specs
zip([Enumerable.t()]) :: Enumerable.t()
zip(Enumerable.t()) :: Enumerable.t()
Zips corresponding elements from a finite collection of enumerables into one stream of tuples.
The zipping finishes as soon as any enumerable in the given collection completes.
Examples
iex> concat = Stream.concat(1..3, 4..6)
iex> cycle = Stream.cycle(["foo", "bar", "baz"])
iex> Stream.zip([concat, [:a, :b, :c], cycle]) |> Enum.to_list()
[{1, :a, "foo"}, {2, :b, "bar"}, {3, :c, "baz"}]Specs
zip(Enumerable.t(), Enumerable.t()) :: Enumerable.t()
Zips two collections together, lazily.
The zipping finishes as soon as any enumerable completes.
Examples
iex> concat = Stream.concat(1..3, 4..6)
iex> cycle = Stream.cycle([:a, :b, :c])
iex> Stream.zip(concat, cycle) |> Enum.to_list()
[{1, :a}, {2, :b}, {3, :c}, {4, :a}, {5, :b}, {6, :c}]
