Function toText

toText(stream): Promise<string>

Converts a ReadableSteam of strings or Uint8Arrays to a single string. Works the same as Response.text and Request.text, but also extends to support streams of strings.

Parameters

stream: ReadableStream<Uint8Array> | ReadableStream<string>
A ReadableStream to convert into a string.

Returns Promise<string>

A Promise that resolves to the string.

Example: Basic usage with a stream of strings

import { toText } from "@std/streams/to-text";
import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert";

const stream = ReadableStream.from(["Hello, ", "world!"]);
assertEquals(await toText(stream), "Hello, world!");

Example: Basic usage with a stream of `Uint8Array`s

import { toText } from "@std/streams/to-text";
import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert";

const stream = ReadableStream.from(["Hello, ", "world!"])
  .pipeThrough(new TextEncoderStream());
assertEquals(await toText(stream), "Hello, world!");
