Package Exports

fast-stream-to-buffer

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (fast-stream-to-buffer) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

fast-stream-to-buffer

Consume a stream of data into a binary Buffer as efficiently as possible.

Installation

npm install fast-stream-to-buffer --save

Usage

Process an abitrary readable stream:

const streamToBuffer = require('fast-stream-to-buffer')

streamToBuffer(stream, function (err, buf) {
  if (err) throw err
  console.log(buf.toString())
})

Or use the onStream() helper function:

const http = require('http')
const streamToBuffer = require('fast-stream-to-buffer')

// `http.get` expects a callback as the 2nd argument that will be called
// with a readable stream of the response
http.get('http://example.com', streamToBuffer.onStream(function (err, buf) {
  if (err) throw err
  console.log(buf.toString('utf8'))
})

API

`streamToBuffer(stream, callback)`

Arguments:

stream - Any readable stream
callback - A callback function which will be called with an optional error object as the first argument and a buffer containing the content of the stream as the 2nd

`fn = streamToBuffer.onStream(callback)`

Returns a function fn which expects a readable stream as its only argument. When called, it will automatically call streamToBuffer() with the stream as the first argument and the callback as the second.
