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

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('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 streamcallback
- 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.
