Convert a Readable Stream with a known length into a Buffer
This package converts a Readable Stream into a Buffer, with just one Buffer allocation (excluding allocations done internally by the streams implementation).
This is lighter-weight choice than
stream-to-array
when the
total stream length is known in advance. This whole package is 15 lines.
This module is used by WebTorrent.
npm install stream-with-known-length-to-buffer
var toBuffer = require('stream-with-known-length-to-buffer')
toBuffer(fs.createReadStream('file.txt'), 1000, function (err, buf) {
if (err) return console.error(err.message)
console.log(buf)
})
