function iterateReader
import { iterateReader } from "https://deno.land/std@0.220.1/io/iterate_reader.ts";

Turns a Reader into an async iterator.

Examples

Example 1

import { iterateReader } from "https://deno.land/std@0.220.1/io/iterate_reader.ts";

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

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

Example 2

import { iterateReader } from "https://deno.land/std@0.220.1/io/iterate_reader.ts";

using file = await Deno.open("/etc/passwd");
const iter = iterateReader(file, {
  bufSize: 1024 * 1024
});
for await (const chunk of iter) {
  console.log(chunk);
}

Parameters

reader: Reader
optional
options: { bufSize?: number; }

Returns

AsyncIterableIterator<Uint8Array>
