stream-string
"Converts" a stream to a string. Promises are used by default, callbacks are allowed as well.
Installation
Assuming you have Node, you can just run:
npm install --save stream-string
Usage
Promises
const fs = require("fs");
const ss = require("stream-string");
// Make a gzip stream (just for this example)
const myStream = fs
.createReadStream("./file")
.pipe(require("zlib").createGzip());
ss(myStream)
.then((data) => {
// myStream was converted to a string, and that string is stored in data
console.log(data);
})
.catch((err) => {
// myStream emitted an error event (err), so the promise from stream-string was rejected
throw err;
});Callbacks
const fs = require("fs");
const ss = require("stream-string");
// Make a gzip stream (just for this example)
const myStream = fs
.createReadStream("./file")
.pipe(require("zlib").createGzip());
ss(myStream, (err, data) => {
if (err) {
// myStream emitted an error event (err), which was passed to the callback
throw err;
} else {
// myStream was converted to a string, and that string is stored in data
console.log(data);
}

Contributions welcome! Please read the contributing guidelines first. Also, try to keep code coverage up - npm test will tell you the code coverage near the end of its output, not to mention the fact that it will first test your code 😃
