(will be removed after 1.0.0) Use ReadableStream instead.

Turns a Reader, r, into an async iterator.

import { iterateReader } from "https://deno.land/std@0.208.0/streams/iterate_reader.ts";

let f = await Deno.open("/etc/passwd");
for await (const chunk of iterateReader(f)) {
console.log(chunk);
}
f.close();

Second argument can be used to tune size of a buffer. Default size of the buffer is 32kB.

import { iterateReader } from "https://deno.land/std@0.208.0/streams/iterate_reader.ts";

let f = await Deno.open("/etc/passwd");
const it = iterateReader(f, {
bufSize: 1024 * 1024
});
for await (const chunk of it) {
console.log(chunk);
}
f.close();
import { iterateReader } from "https://deno.land/std@0.208.0/streams/iterate_reader.ts";

Parameters

optional
options: { bufSize?: number; }

Returns

AsyncIterableIterator<Uint8Array>
