# peek-readable
|
|
|
|
A promise based asynchronous stream reader, which makes reading from a stream easy.
|
|
|
|
Allows to read and peek from a [Readable Stream](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_readable_streams)
|
|
|
|
Note that [peek-readable](https://github.com/Borewit/peek-readable) was formally released as [then-read-stream](https://github.com/Borewit/peek-readable).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
```shell script
|
|
npm install --save peek-readable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `peek-readable` contains one class: `StreamReader`, which reads from a [stream.Readable](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_class_stream_readable).
|
|
|
|
### Compatibility
|
|
|
|
Module: version 5 migrated from [CommonJS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CommonJS) to [pure ECMAScript Module (ESM)](https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c).
|
|
JavaScript is compliant with [ECMAScript 2019 (ES10)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECMAScript#10th_Edition_%E2%80%93_ECMAScript_2019).
|
|
Requires Node.js ≥ 14.16 engine.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
In the following example we read the first 16 bytes from a stream and store them in our buffer.
|
|
Source code of examples can be found [here](test/examples.ts).
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import fs from 'node:fs';
|
|
import { StreamReader } from 'peek-readable';
|
|
|
|
(async () => {
|
|
const readable = fs.createReadStream('JPEG_example_JPG_RIP_001.jpg');
|
|
const streamReader = new StreamReader(readable);
|
|
const uint8Array = new Uint8Array(16);
|
|
const bytesRead = await streamReader.read(uint8Array, 0, 16);;
|
|
// buffer contains 16 bytes, if the end-of-stream has not been reached
|
|
})();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
End-of-stream detection:
|
|
```js
|
|
(async () => {
|
|
|
|
const fileReadStream = fs.createReadStream('JPEG_example_JPG_RIP_001.jpg');
|
|
const streamReader = new StreamReader(fileReadStream);
|
|
const buffer = Buffer.alloc(16); // or use: new Uint8Array(16);
|
|
|
|
try {
|
|
await streamReader.read(buffer, 0, 16);
|
|
// buffer contains 16 bytes, if the end-of-stream has not been reached
|
|
} catch(error) {
|
|
if (error instanceof EndOfStreamError) {
|
|
console.log('End-of-stream reached');
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
})();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With peek you can read ahead:
|
|
```js
|
|
import fs from 'node:fs';
|
|
import { StreamReader } from 'peek-readable';
|
|
|
|
const fileReadStream = fs.createReadStream('JPEG_example_JPG_RIP_001.jpg');
|
|
const streamReader = new StreamReader(fileReadStream);
|
|
const buffer = Buffer.alloc(20);
|
|
|
|
(async () => {
|
|
let bytesRead = await streamReader.peek(buffer, 0, 3);
|
|
if (bytesRead === 3 && buffer[0] === 0xFF && buffer[1] === 0xD8 && buffer[2] === 0xFF) {
|
|
console.log('This is a JPEG file');
|
|
} else {
|
|
throw Error('Expected a JPEG file');
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
bytesRead = await streamReader.read(buffer, 0, 20); // Read JPEG header
|
|
if (bytesRead === 20) {
|
|
console.log('Got the JPEG header');
|
|
} else {
|
|
throw Error('Failed to read JPEG header');
|
|
}
|
|
})();
|
|
```
