Readme
pull-file
a pull-streaming file reader, build directly on the low level stream functions. by passing node's fs streams.
Example Usage
var file = require('pull-file');
var pull = require('pull-stream');
var path = require('path');
var inputFile = path.resolve(__dirname, '../test/assets/ipsum.txt');
pull(
file(inputFile, { bufferSize: 40 }),
pull.take(4),
pull.drain(function(buffer) {
console.log(buffer.toString());
})
);
options
this supports all the options that node's fs.createReadStream supports,
and also this supports a live: true
property which will keep the stream open and wait for appends
when it gets to the end and an explicit buffer
option where your chunks will be read to.
Note that if your downstream operations are async you may run into concurrency
issues with this option. Use at your own risk!
