stream-read-all

stream-read-all

Returns a promise which fulfils with the supplied stream's content. Supports any Readable stream as input in either regular or object mode.

For example, this script...

import { streamReadAll } from 'stream-read-all'
const readable = await streamReadAll(process.stdin)
console.log(readable.toString())

...prints this output.

$ echo Hello | node example.js
Hello

The above streamReadAll function returns either a Buffer in regular mode or an array of objects in object mode. Alternatively, you can use streamReadText which is identical to the above except it returns text. The second argument is optional, specifying the character encoding to use (as in the buffer.toString() first argument).

import { streamReadText } from 'stream-read-all'
const readable = fs.createReadStream('./package.json')
const text = await streamReadText(readable, 'hex')
console.log(text)
// prints the package.json file content in hex format
