The Standard Library has been moved to JSR. See the blog post for details.
class Duplex
implements Writable
extends Readable
import { Duplex } from "https://deno.land/std@0.161.0/node/_stream.d.ts";

Duplex streams are streams that implement both the Readable and Writable interfaces.

Examples of Duplex streams include:

  • TCP sockets
  • zlib streams
  • crypto streams

Constructors

new
Duplex(opts?: DuplexOptions)

Properties

allowHalfOpen: boolean

If false then the stream will automatically end the writable side when the readable side ends. Set initially by the allowHalfOpen constructor option, which defaults to false.

This can be changed manually to change the half-open behavior of an existingDuplex stream instance, but must be changed before the 'end' event is emitted.

Static Methods

from(src:
| Stream
| Blob
| ArrayBuffer
| string
| Iterable<any>
| AsyncIterable<any>
| AsyncGeneratorFunction
| Promise<any>
| Object
): Duplex

A utility method for creating duplex streams.

  • Stream converts writable stream into writable Duplex and readable stream to Duplex.
  • Blob converts into readable Duplex.
  • string converts into readable Duplex.
  • ArrayBuffer converts into readable Duplex.
  • AsyncIterable converts into a readable Duplex. Cannot yield null.
  • AsyncGeneratorFunction converts into a readable/writable transform Duplex. Must take a source AsyncIterable as first parameter. Cannot yield null.
  • AsyncFunction converts into a writable Duplex. Must return either null or undefined
  • Object ({ writable, readable }) converts readable and writable into Stream and then combines them into Duplex where the Duplex will write to the writable and read from the readable.
  • Promise converts into readable Duplex. Value null is ignored.
