The behavior changes slightly based on the encoding chosen: + +- When `encoding` is unset, it assumes an [object mode stream](https://nodesource.com/blog/understanding-object-streams/) and collects values emitted from `stream` unmodified. In this case `maxBuffer` refers to the number of items in the array (not the sum of their sizes). + +- When `encoding` is set to `buffer`, it collects an array of buffers. `maxBuffer` refers to the summed byte lengths of every buffer in the array. + +- When `encoding` is set to anything else, it collects an array of strings. `maxBuffer` refers to the summed character lengths of every string in the array. + + +## Errors + +If the input stream emits an `error` event, the promise will be rejected with the error. The buffered data will be attached to the `bufferedData` property of the error. + +```js +getStream(streamThatErrorsAtTheEnd('unicorn')) + .catch(err => { + console.log(err.bufferedData); + //=> 'unicorn' + }); +``` + + +## FAQ + +### How is this different from [`concat-stream`](https://github.com/maxogden/concat-stream)? + +This module accepts a stream instead of being one and returns a promise instead of using a callback. The API is simpler and it only supports returning a string, buffer, or array. It doesn't have a fragile type inference. You explicitly choose what you want. And it doesn't depend on the huge `readable-stream` package. + + +## Related + +- [get-stdin](https://github.com/sindresorhus/get-stdin) - Get stdin as a string or buffer + + +## License + +MIT © [Sindre Sorhus](https://sindresorhus.com) |
