phantomjs-stream
Node streams and phantomjs live together very nicely. The only requirement is a wrapper that handles the io of the external phantomjs process, something like event-stream.
Hello world!
The node script takes stdin, pipes it through phantomjs and pipes the result to stdout.
// myStream.js
var es = require('event-stream');
var cp = require('child_process');
process.stdin
.pipe(es.child(cp.exec('/usr/bin/phantomjs echo.js')))
.pipe(process.stdout);It is assumed that phantomjs lives in /usr/bin/.
// echo.js
var system = require('system');
var line = system.stdin.readLine();
system.stdout.writeLine(JSON.stringify(line));
phantom.exit(0);Call the script like:
echo Hello World | node echo.js
and you should get:
"Hello World!\n"
