import { type Deno } from "https://deno.land/x/deno@v1.28.3/cli/tsc/dts/lib.deno.ns.d.ts";
const { Reader } = Deno;
An abstract interface which when implemented provides an interface to read bytes into an array buffer asynchronously.
Methods
Reads up to p.byteLength
bytes into p
. It resolves to the number of
bytes read (0
< n
<= p.byteLength
) and rejects if any error
encountered. Even if read()
resolves to n
< p.byteLength
, it may
use all of p
as scratch space during the call. If some data is
available but not p.byteLength
bytes, read()
conventionally resolves
to what is available instead of waiting for more.
When read()
encounters end-of-file condition, it resolves to EOF
(null
).
When read()
encounters an error, it rejects with an error.
Callers should always process the n
> 0
bytes returned before
considering the EOF (null
). Doing so correctly handles I/O errors that
happen after reading some bytes and also both of the allowed EOF
behaviors.
Implementations should not retain a reference to p
.
Use
itereateReader
from
std/streams/conversion.ts
to turn a Reader
into an AsyncIterator
.
