Use this when you want to collect all the data from a stream into a single buffer. - -[](https://travis-ci.org/maxogden/concat-stream) - -[](https://nodei.co/npm/concat-stream/) - -### description - -Streams emit many buffers. If you want to collect all of the buffers, and when the stream ends concatenate all of the buffers together and receive a single buffer then this is the module for you. - -Only use this if you know you can fit all of the output of your stream into a single Buffer (e.g. in RAM). - -There are also `objectMode` streams that emit things other than Buffers, and you can concatenate these too. See below for details. - -## Related - -`concat-stream` is part of the [mississippi stream utility collection](https://github.com/maxogden/mississippi) which includes more useful stream modules similar to this one. - -### examples - -#### Buffers - -```js -var fs = require('fs') -var concat = require('concat-stream') - -var readStream = fs.createReadStream('cat.png') -var concatStream = concat(gotPicture) - -readStream.on('error', handleError) -readStream.pipe(concatStream) - -function gotPicture(imageBuffer) { - // imageBuffer is all of `cat.png` as a node.js Buffer -} - -function handleError(err) { - // handle your error appropriately here, e.g.: - console.error(err) // print the error to STDERR - process.exit(1) // exit program with non-zero exit code -} - -``` - -#### Arrays - -```js -var write = concat(function(data) {}) -write.write([1,2,3]) -write.write([4,5,6]) -write.end() -// data will be [1,2,3,4,5,6] in the above callback -``` - -#### Uint8Arrays - -```js -var write = concat(function(data) {}) -var a = new Uint8Array(3) -a[0] = 97; a[1] = 98; a[2] = 99 -write.write(a) -write.write('!') -write.end(Buffer('!!1')) -``` - -See `test/` for more examples - -# methods - -```js -var concat = require('concat-stream') -``` - -## var writable = concat(opts={}, cb) - -Return a `writable` stream that will fire `cb(data)` with all of the data that -was written to the stream. Data can be written to `writable` as strings, -Buffers, arrays of byte integers, and Uint8Arrays. - -By default `concat-stream` will give you back the same data type as the type of the first buffer written to the stream. Use `opts.encoding` to set what format `data` should be returned as, e.g. if you if you don't want to rely on the built-in type checking or for some other reason. - -* `string` - get a string -* `buffer` - get back a Buffer -* `array` - get an array of byte integers -* `uint8array`, `u8`, `uint8` - get back a Uint8Array -* `object`, get back an array of Objects - -If you don't specify an encoding, and the types can't be inferred (e.g. you write things that aren't in the list above), it will try to convert concat them into a `Buffer`. - -If nothing is written to `writable` then `data` will be an empty array `[]`. - -# error handling - -`concat-stream` does not handle errors for you, so you must handle errors on whatever streams you pipe into `concat-stream`. This is a general rule when programming with node.js streams: always handle errors on each and every stream. Since `concat-stream` is not itself a stream it does not emit errors. - -We recommend using [`end-of-stream`](https://npmjs.org/end-of-stream) or [`pump`](https://npmjs.org/pump) for writing error tolerant stream code. - -# license - -MIT LICENSE |
