stream/consumers

The 'node:stream/consumers' submodule offers helper functions that consume Readable streams into other forms, such as blob, arrayBuffer, text, or json.

It simplifies common stream-to-data conversions without manual event handling.

function arrayBuffer(
stream: ReadableStream<any> | ReadableStream | AsyncIterable<any, any, any>
): Promise<ArrayBuffer>;
@returns
Fulfills with an ArrayBuffer containing the full contents of the stream.
function blob(
stream: ReadableStream<any> | ReadableStream | AsyncIterable<any, any, any>
): Promise<Blob>;
@returns
Fulfills with a Blob containing the full contents of the stream.
function buffer(
stream: ReadableStream<any> | ReadableStream | AsyncIterable<any, any, any>
): Promise<NonSharedBuffer>;
@returns
Fulfills with a Buffer containing the full contents of the stream.
function json(
stream: ReadableStream<any> | ReadableStream | AsyncIterable<any, any, any>
): Promise<unknown>;
@returns
Fulfills with the contents of the stream parsed as a UTF-8 encoded string that is then passed through JSON.parse().
function text(
stream: ReadableStream<any> | ReadableStream | AsyncIterable<any, any, any>
): Promise<string>;
@returns
Fulfills with the contents of the stream parsed as a UTF-8 encoded string.
