it-all

What is it-all?

The 'it-all' npm package is a utility that collects all items from an async iterable into an array. It is particularly useful when working with streams or other asynchronous data sources where you need to gather all the data into a single array for further processing.

What are it-all's main functionalities?

Collecting async iterable into an array

This feature allows you to collect all items from an async iterable into an array. The code sample demonstrates how to use 'it-all' to gather values from an async generator function into a single array.

const itAll = require('it-all');

async function example() {
  const asyncIterable = async function* () {
    yield 1;
    yield 2;
    yield 3;
  };

  const result = await itAll(asyncIterable());
  console.log(result); // [1, 2, 3]
}

Other packages similar to it-all

stream-to-array

'stream-to-array' is a package that converts a stream into an array. It is similar to 'it-all' but is specifically designed for Node.js streams. While 'it-all' works with any async iterable, 'stream-to-array' is more specialized for stream objects.

concat-stream

'concat-stream' is another package that collects all data from a stream and concatenates it into a single buffer or string. It is similar to 'it-all' in that it gathers data into a single entity, but it is more focused on streams and can handle different types of data (buffers, strings, etc.).

bl

'bl' (Buffer List) is a package that collects data from a stream into a single buffer. It is similar to 'it-all' in that it aggregates data, but it is specifically designed for handling binary data in streams.
