Usage
Concat Uint8Arrays to a single Uint8ArrayList
:
import concat from 'it-concat'
import { toString } from 'uint8arrays'
import fs from 'fs'
fs.writeFileSync('./test.txt', 'Hello World!')
// Node.js Readable Streams are async iterables!
const chunks = await concat(fs.createReadStream('./test.txt'))
// chunks is a Uint8ArrayList
console.log(chunks)
/*
Uint8ArrayList {
_bufs: [ <Uint8Array 48 65 6c 6c 6f 20 57 6f 72 6c 64 21> ],
length: 12
}
*/
console.log(toString(chunks.subarray)))
// Hello World!
Concat Uint8Arrays to a single string:
import concat from 'it-concat'
import fs from 'fs'
fs.writeFileSync('./test.txt', 'Hello World!')
// Node.js Readable Streams are async iterables!
// Note that we pass `{ type: 'string' }` to tell concat that we want a string
// back and not a Uint8Array. This is necessary because the source data is Uint8Array(s).
const chunks = await concat(fs.createReadStream('./test.txt'), { type: 'string' })
console.log(chunks)
// Hello World!
Concat strings to a single string:
import concat from 'it-concat'
import fs from 'fs'
fs.writeFileSync('./test.txt', 'Hello World!')
// Node.js Readable Streams are async iterables!
// Note that we don't need to pass `{ type: 'string' }` to tell concat that we
// want a string back because the source data is Uint8Array(s).
const chunks = await concat(fs.createReadStream('./test.txt', { encoding: 'utf8' }))
console.log(chunks)
// Hello World!
API
import concat from 'it-concat'
concat(source, options?): Promise
Concat all Uint8Arrays or strings yielded from the async iterable source
into a single Uint8ArrayList
or string
.
source
(AsyncIterable<Uint8Array | Uint8ArrayList | string>
) - the source iterable to concat fromoptions
(Object
) - optional optionsoptions.type
(string
) - return type of the function, pass'string'
to recieve a string or'Uint8Array'
for aUint8ArrayList
.
Returns a Promise
that resolves to a Uint8ArrayList
or string
.
If options.type
is not passed the type of the objects yielded from the source
is detected and a Uint8ArrayList
or string
is returned appropriately. If the source
does not yield anything an empty Uint8ArrayList
is returned. If the source is expected to return strings (but may not yield anything), pass options.type: 'string'
to ensure an empty string is returned instead of an empty Uint8ArrayList
.
