Create Streaming Config

import { createStreamingConfig } from 'clodds/streaming';

const streaming = createStreamingConfig({
  // Enable streaming
  enabled: true,

  // Chunk settings
  minChunkSize: 20,    // Min chars per chunk
  maxChunkSize: 200,   // Max chars per chunk
  chunkDelayMs: 50,    // Delay between chunks

  // Typing indicators
  showTyping: true,
  typingDurationMs: 3000,

  // Platform-specific limits
  platformLimits: {
    telegram: { maxMessageLength: 4096, maxChunkSize: 100 },
    discord: { maxMessageLength: 2000, maxChunkSize: 150 },
    slack: { maxMessageLength: 40000, maxChunkSize: 200 },
  },
});

Enable/Disable

// Enable streaming
streaming.enable();

// Disable streaming
streaming.disable();

// Check status
const enabled = streaming.isEnabled();

Configure Chunks

// Set chunk size
streaming.setChunkSize(100);

// Set delay
streaming.setChunkDelay(75);

// Get current settings
const settings = streaming.getSettings();
console.log(`Chunk size: ${settings.chunkSize}`);
console.log(`Delay: ${settings.chunkDelayMs}ms`);

Platform Settings

// Set platform-specific limit
streaming.setPlatformLimit('telegram', {
  maxMessageLength: 4096,
  maxChunkSize: 80,
});

// Get platform limits
const limits = streaming.getPlatformLimits();

Typing Indicators

// Enable typing
streaming.enableTyping();

// Disable typing
streaming.disableTyping();

// Set duration
streaming.setTypingDuration(5000);

Best Practices

1. Smaller chunks for mobile — Better UX on slow connections
2. Adjust delay for readability — 50-100ms feels natural
3. Disable for short responses — Don't stream "OK"
4. Monitor performance — Streaming adds overhead
