Package description

What is to-readable-stream?

The 'to-readable-stream' npm package is a simple utility that allows you to convert a string or buffer into a readable stream. This can be particularly useful when you need to work with stream-based APIs but only have static data to start with.

What are to-readable-stream's main functionalities?

Convert string to stream

This feature allows you to convert a simple string into a readable stream, which can then be used with any API that accepts streams. The example demonstrates creating a stream from a string and reading from it.

const toReadableStream = require('to-readable-stream');
const stream = toReadableStream('Hello, world!');
stream.on('data', (chunk) => {
  console.log(chunk.toString()); // Outputs: Hello, world!
});

Convert buffer to stream

This feature enables the conversion of a buffer into a readable stream. Similar to the string example, this allows buffers to be used wherever streams are required. The code sample shows how to convert a buffer to a stream and read its contents.

const toReadableStream = require('to-readable-stream');
const buffer = Buffer.from('Hello, buffer!');
const stream = toReadableStream(buffer);
stream.on('data', (chunk) => {
  console.log(chunk.toString()); // Outputs: Hello, buffer!
});
