stream-string v2.0.4

stream-string

"Converts" a stream to a string. Promises are used by default, callbacks are allowed as well.

Installation

Assuming you have Node, you can just run:

npm install --save stream-string

Usage

Promises

const fs = require("fs");
const ss = require("stream-string");

// Make a gzip stream (just for this example)
const myStream = fs
  .createReadStream("./file")
  .pipe(require("zlib").createGzip());

ss(myStream)
  .then((data) => {
    // myStream was converted to a string, and that string is stored in data
    console.log(data);
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    // myStream emitted an error event (err), so the promise from stream-string was rejected
    throw err;
  });

Callbacks

const fs = require("fs");
const ss = require("stream-string");

// Make a gzip stream (just for this example)
const myStream = fs
  .createReadStream("./file")
  .pipe(require("zlib").createGzip());

ss(myStream, (err, data) => {
  if (err) {
    // myStream emitted an error event (err), which was passed to the callback
    throw err;
  } else {
    // myStream was converted to a string, and that string is stored in data
    console.log(data);
  }
});

Contributions welcome! Please read the contributing guidelines first. Also, try to keep code coverage up - npm test will tell you the code coverage near the end of its output, not to mention the fact that it will first test your code :smiley:
