gather-stream

Basically concat-stream but minimaller implementation, and/but also with error handling.

Usage

Here's a simple example:

var concat2 = require('gather-stream'),
    fs = require('fs');

fs.createReadStream('README.md').pipe(concat2(function (error,buffer) {
  if (error) console.error(error);
  else console.log("Read file, it was %s bytes long.", buffer.length);
});

API

  • var concat2 = require('gather-stream') — the module exports a single wrapper function
  • concat2([opts, ]cb) — returns a Writable stream you can pipe into. If an error occurs on this stream or its source, cb(error) will be called; otherwise cb(null, buffer) will get you. You can provide {maxLength:someNumberOfBytes} as opts to limit memory mayhem if you wish — if the limit is about to be exceeded, an error will be fired instead.
  • that's about it
