minipass-collect

A Minipass stream that collects all the data into a single chunk

Note that this buffers ALL data written to it, so it's only good for situations where you are sure the entire stream fits in memory.

Note: this is primarily useful for the Collect.PassThrough class, since Minipass streams already have a .collect() method which returns a promise that resolves to the array of chunks, and a .concat() method that returns the data concatenated into a single Buffer or String.

USAGE

```js const Collect = require('minipass-collect')

const collector = new Collect() collector.on('data', allTheData => { console.log('all the data!', allTheData) })

someSourceOfData.pipe(collector)

// note that you can also simply do: someSourceOfData.pipe(new Minipass()).concat().then(data => ...) // or even, if someSourceOfData is a Minipass: someSourceOfData.concat().then(data => ...) // but you might prefer to have it stream-shaped rather than // Promise-shaped in some scenarios. ```

If you want to collect the data, but also act as a passthrough stream, then use Collect.PassThrough instead (for example to memoize streaming responses), and listen on the collect event.

```js const Collect = require('minipass-collect')

const collector = new Collect.PassThrough() collector.on('collect', allTheData => { console.log('all the data!', allTheData) })

someSourceOfData.pipe(collector).pipe(someOtherStream) ```

All minipass options are supported.
