## Supported stream types
|
|
|
|
* Buffers
|
|
* `fs.createReadStream` streams
|
|
* `http.request` and `http.get` responses
|
|
* `request` requests
|
|
* `combined-stream2` streams
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Using Promises:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var streamLength = require("stream-length");
|
|
|
|
Promise.try(function(){
|
|
return streamLength(fs.createReadStream("README.md"));
|
|
})
|
|
.then(function(result){
|
|
console.log("The length of README.md is " + result);
|
|
})
|
|
.catch(function(err){
|
|
console.log("Could not determine length. Error: " + err.toString());
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Using nodebacks:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var streamLength = require("stream-length");
|
|
|
|
streamLength(fs.createReadStream("README.md"), {}, function(err, result){
|
|
if(err)
|
|
{
|
|
console.log("Could not determine length. Error: " + err.toString());
|
|
}
|
|
else
|
|
{
|
|
console.log("The length of README.md is " + result);
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Custom lengthRetrievers:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
Promise.try(function(){
|
|
return streamLength(fs.createReadStream("README.md"), [
|
|
function(stream, callback){
|
|
doSomethingWith(stream, function(err, len){
|
|
callback(err ? err : len);
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
]);
|
|
})
|
|
.then(function(result){
|
|
console.log("The length of README.md is " + result);
|
|
})
|
|
.catch(function(err){
|
|
console.log("Could not determine length. Error: " + err.toString());
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
### streamLength(stream, [options, [callback]])
|
|
|
|
Determines the length of `stream`, which can be a supported type of Stream or a Buffer. Optionally you can specify `options`:
|
|
|
|
* __lengthRetrievers__: An array of (potentially asynchronous) functions for establishing stream lengths. You can specify one or more of these if you wish to extend `stream-length`s list of supported Stream types. Each retriever function is called with a signature of `(stream, callback)` where `stream` is the stream in question, and `callback` can be called with the result. If an Error occurs, simply pass the Error to the callback instead of the value.
|
|
|
|
If you define a `callback`, it will be treated as a nodeback and called when the function completes. If you don't, the function will return a Promise that resolves when the function completes.
