Use this when you want to collect all the data from a stream into a single buffer. + +[](https://travis-ci.org/maxogden/concat-stream) + +[](https://nodei.co/npm/concat-stream/) + +### description + +Streams emit many buffers. If you want to collect all of the buffers, and when the stream ends concatenate all of the buffers together and receive a single buffer then this is the module for you. + +Only use this if you know you can fit all of the output of your stream into a single Buffer (e.g. in RAM). + +There are also `objectMode` streams that emit things other than Buffers, and you can concatenate these too. See below for details. + +## Related + +`concat-stream` is part of the [mississippi stream utility collection](https://github.com/maxogden/mississippi) which includes more useful stream modules similar to this one. + +### examples + +#### Buffers + +```js +var fs = require('fs') +var concat = require('concat-stream') + +var readStream = fs.createReadStream('cat.png') +var concatStream = concat(gotPicture) + +readStream.on('error', handleError) +readStream.pipe(concatStream) + +function gotPicture(imageBuffer) { + // imageBuffer is all of `cat.png` as a node.js Buffer +} + +function handleError(err) { + // handle your error appropriately here, e.g.: + console.error(err) // print the error to STDERR + process.exit(1) // exit program with non-zero exit code +} + +``` + +#### Arrays + +```js +var write = concat(function(data) {}) +write.write([1,2,3]) +write.write([4,5,6]) +write.end() +// data will be [1,2,3,4,5,6] in the above callback +``` + +#### Uint8Arrays + +```js +var write = concat(function(data) {}) +var a = new Uint8Array(3) +a[0] = 97; a[1] = 98; a[2] = 99 +write.write(a) +write.write('!') +write.end(Buffer.from('!!1')) +``` + +See `test/` for more examples + +# methods + +```js +var concat = require('concat-stream') +``` + +## var writable = concat(opts={}, cb) + +Return a `writable` stream that will fire `cb(data)` with all of the data that +was written to the stream. Data can be written to `writable` as strings, +Buffers, arrays of byte integers, and Uint8Arrays. + +By default `concat-stream` will give you back the same data type as the type of the first buffer written to the stream.

This is a general rule when programming with node.js streams: always handle errors on each and every stream. Since `concat-stream` is not itself a stream it does not emit errors. + +We recommend using [`end-of-stream`](https://npmjs.org/end-of-stream) or [`pump`](https://npmjs.org/pump) for writing error tolerant stream code. + +# license + +MIT LICENSE |
