ReadableStream(underlyingSource, strategy)

Creates a ReadableStream object from the given handlers.


Note that `underlyingSource.type` and `underlyingSource.autoAllocateChunkSize` are not supported.

Returns: ReadableStream

ParamTypeDescription
underlyingSource
Object
Define how the constructed stream instance will behave.
underlyingSource.start(controller)
function
Called immediately when the object is constructed. This method needs to do anything else required to set up the stream functionality. If this process is to be done asynchronously, it can return a promise to signal success or failure. The controller parameter passed to this method is a ReadableStreamDefaultController.
underlyingSource.pull(controller)
function
Called repeatedly when the stream's internal queue of chunks is not full, up until it reaches its high water mark. If pull() returns a promise, then it won't be called again until that promise fulfills. If the promise rejects, the stream will become errored. The controller parameter passed to this method is a ReadableStreamDefaultController.
underlyingSource.cancel(reason)
function
Called if the app signals that the stream is to be cancelled. The contents should do whatever is necessary to release access to the stream source. If this process is asynchronous, it can return a promise to signal success or failure. The reason parameter contains a string describing why the stream was cancelled.
strategy
Object
Defines a queuing strategy for the stream.
strategy.highWaterMark
number
Defines the total number of chunks that can be contained in the internal queue before backpressure is applied.
strategy.size(chunk)
function
Indicates the size to use for each chunk, in bytes.

locked : boolean

Read only Indicate whether the readable stream is locked.

cancel(reason)

Cancel the readable stream.

Returns: Promise<void>
Throws:

  • TypeError thrown if the source stream is not a ReadableStream or it's locked.
ParamTypeDescription
reason
string
reason for the cancellation.

getReader(options)

Create a reader and lock the stream to it.


Note that currently ReadableStreamDefaultReader object is returned as options.mode "byob" is not supported.

Returns: ReadableStreamDefaultReader
Throws:

  • Error when options["mode"] does not equal to undefined.
ParamTypeDescription
options
Object
Object with mode property.
options.mode
*
ReadableStreamDefaultReader being created, defaults to undefined and byob is not yet supported.

pipeThrough(transform, options)

Provides a chainable way of piping the current stream through a transform stream.

Returns: ReadableStream - ReadableStream of the input transform stream.
Throws:

  • TypeError thrown if the source stream is not a ReadableStream.
  • TypeError thrown if the input transform stream is not valid.
  • TypeError thrown if the source readable stream is locked.
  • TypeError thrown if the writable stream of the input transform stream is locked.
  • TypeError thrown if options is not valid.

Since: v7.0.0

ParamTypeDescription
transform
TransformStream | WritableAndReadable
TransformStream or an object with the structure {writable, readable}
options
Object
options.preventClose
boolean
If true, the source ReadableStream closing will no loger cause the destination WritableStream to be closed.
options.preventAbort
boolean
If true, errors in the source ReadableStream will no longer abort the destination WritableStream.
options.preventCancel
boolean
If true, errors in the destination WritableStream will no longer cancel the source ReadableStream.
options.signal
AbortSignal
If aborted, ongoing pipe operations can be aborted.

pipeTo(destination, options)

Pipes this readable stream to a given writable stream destination.

Returns: Promise<void> resolves when the piping process has completed.
Throws:

  • TypeError thrown if the source stream is not a ReadableStream.
  • TypeError thrown if the destination is not a WritableStream.
  • TypeError thrown if the source ReadableStream is locked.
  • TypeError thrown if the destination WritableStream is locked.
  • TypeError thrown if options is not valid.

Since: v7.0.0

ParamTypeDescription
destination
WritableStream
Final destination for the ReadableStream.
options
Object
(Optional) Used when piping to the writable stream.
options.preventClose
boolean
If true, the source ReadableStream closing will no loger cause the destination WritableStream to be closed.
options.preventAbort
boolean
If true, errors in the source ReadableStream will no longer abort the destination WritableStream.
options.preventCancel
boolean
If true, errors in the destination WritableStream will no longer cancel the source ReadableStream.
options.signal
AbortSignal
If aborted, ongoing pipe operations can be aborted.

tee()

Tees the current ReadableStream, returning a two-element array containing the two resulting branches as new ReadableStream instances.

Returns: Array - an array containing two ReadableStream instances.
Throws:

  • TypeError thrown if the source stream is not a ReadableStream.

Since: v7.0.0
