Package Exports
- it-concat
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 (it-concat) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
it-concat
Concat all buffers/strings yielded from an async iterable into a single
BufferList/string.
Install
npm install it-concatUsage
Concat buffers to a single BufferList:
const concat = require('it-concat')
const fs = require('fs')
fs.writeFileSync('./test.txt', 'Hello World!')
// Node.js Readable Streams are async iterables!
const chunks = await concat(fs.createReadStream('./test.txt'))
// chunks is a BufferList
console.log(chunks)
/*
BufferList {
_bufs: [ <Buffer 48 65 6c 6c 6f 20 57 6f 72 6c 64 21> ],
length: 12
}
*/
console.log(chunks.toString())
// Hello World!Concat buffers to a single string:
const concat = require('it-concat')
const fs = require('fs')
fs.writeFileSync('./test.txt', 'Hello World!')
// Node.js Readable Streams are async iterables!
// Note that we pass `{ type: 'string' }` to tell concat that we want a string
// back and not a buffer. This is necessary because the source data is buffer(s).
const chunks = await concat(fs.createReadStream('./test.txt'), { type: 'string' })
console.log(chunks)

const concat = require('it-concat')concat(source, options?): Promise
Concat all buffers or strings yielded from the async iterable source into a single BufferList or string.
source(AsyncIterable<Buffer | BufferList | string>) - the source iterable to concat fromoptions(Object) - optional optionsoptions.type(string) - return type of the function, pass'string'to recieve a string or'buffer'for aBufferList.
Returns a Promise that resolves to a BufferList or string.
If options.type is not passed the type of the objects yielded from the source is detected and a BufferList or string is returned appropriately. If the source does not yield anything an empty BufferList is returned. If the source is expected to return strings (but may not yield anything), pass options.type: 'string' to ensure an empty string is returned instead of an empty BufferList.
