`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.
