Huge thanks to @​ehmicky for doing all the work for this release 🙌

Breaking

• Remove the encoding option. (#​69, #​67)
  • This package handles binary, UTF-8 and object streams.
  • For other encodings like UTF-16, hexacimal and base64, please see the following tip. (#​84)
  • Methods like buffer.toString('hex') or buffer.toString('base64') can also be used.

Improvements

• Support any JavaScript environment, including browsers. (#​85)
• Support web streams (ReadableStream). (#​82, #​78, #​79, #​80)
• Support async iterables. (#​69, #​93)
• Add getStreamAsArray() method to pass streams in object mode. (#​86)
• Add getStreamAsArrayBuffer() method to return the stream as an ArrayBuffer. (#​81)
• When the stream is larger than the maximum size for a string, buffer or ArrayBuffer, set error.bufferedData with the partially read data instead of leaving it empty. (#​68, #​48)

Fixes

• Do not crash on big streams (with one/many GBs). (#​66)
• Ensure maxBuffer stops infinite streams. (#​62)
• Stop consuming the streaming when hitting maxBuffer. (#​42, #​69).
• Set error.bufferedData when the stream errors for other reasons than maxBuffer. (#​56, #​63)
• Ensure error.bufferedData is smaller than maxBuffer. (#​89)

TypeScript types

• The stream argument must be a Readable, ReadableStream or AsyncIterable. (#​71)

Documentation

• Add tips on alternatives, Blob and JSON streaming. (#​58, #​95, #​96, #​97)

Performance

• Do not block the event loop when the stream ends. (#​92)

v7.0.1

• Work around issue with handling large sizes e58d141

v7.0.0

Compare Source

Breaking

• Require Node.js 16 70571f8
• This package is now pure ESM. Please read this.
• Removed getStream.array()
  • It complicated the codebase considerably and I personally never used it.
  • You can use readableStream.toArray() instead. Example
• const getStream = require('get-stream'); getStream.buffer(...); → import {getStreamAsBuffer} from 'get-stream'; getStreamAsBuffer(...);
• const getStream = require('get-stream'); getStream.MaxBufferError; → import {MaxBufferError} from 'get-stream'; MaxBufferError;

Tip

You may not need this package anymore.
