read()
The read()
method of the ReadableStreamDefaultReader interface returns a promise providing access to the next chunk in the stream’s internal queue.
Returns
A promise which fullfils or rejects with a value depending on the state of the stream:
- If a chunk is available, the promise resolves with an object of the form:
{ done: false, value: chunkValue }
. - If the stream is closed and no more data is available, the promise resolves with an object of the form:
{ done: true, value: undefined }
. - If the stream is errored, the promise rejects with the error that caused the stream to error.
Exceptions
Exception | Description |
---|---|
TypeError | Thrown when the source object is not a ReadableStreamDefaultReader, the stream has no owner, or ReadableStreamDefaultReader.releaseLock() is called. |
Example
JavaScript
import { ReadableStream } from 'k6/experimental/streams';
import { setTimeout } from 'k6/timers';
export default async function () {
// Define a number stream that emits numbers from 1 to 10 every second
const stream = numbersStream();
// We use the getReader method to create a reader and lock the stream to it
const reader = stream.getReader();
while (true) {
const { done, value } = await reader.read();
if (done) break;
console.log(`received number ${value} from stream`);
}
}
function numbersStream() {
let currentNumber = 0;
return new ReadableStream({
start(controller) {
const fn = () => {
if (currentNumber < 10) {
controller.enqueue(++currentNumber);
setTimeout(fn, 1000);
return;
}
controller.close();
};
setTimeout(fn, 1000);
},
});
}
