OBSOLETE: since node@18, there is now a stream.toArray() function

Concatenate a readable stream's data into a single array.

API

vartoArray=require('stream-to-array')

toArray([stream], [callback(err, arr)])

Returns all the data objects in an array. This is useful for streams in object mode if you want to just use an array.

varstream=newStream.Readable()toArray(stream,function(err,arr){assert.ok(Array.isArray(arr))})

If stream is not defined, it is assumed that this is a stream.

varstream=newStream.Readable()stream.toArray=toArraystream.toArray(function(err,arr){})

If callback is not defined, then it returns a promise.

toArray(stream).then(function(parts){})

If you want to return a buffer, just use Buffer.concat(arr)

toArray(stream).then(function(parts){constbuffers=parts.map(part=>util.isBuffer(part) ? part : Buffer.from(part));returnBuffer.concat(buffers);})
