Streams

Streams module provides classes and utilities for working with streams.

Overview

• Module: io/v4/streams
• Alias: io/streams
• Definition: https://github.com/eclipse/dirigible/issues/51
• Source: /io/v4/streams.js
• Facade: StreamsFacade
• Status: stable

Basic Usage

var streams = require("io/v4/streams");
var response = require("http/v4/response");

var outputStream = streams.createByteArrayOutputStream();

streams.writeText(outputStream, "Some text content");

var bytes = outputStream.getBytes();
response.println("[Stream Content as Bytes]: " + bytes);

var text = String.fromCharCode.apply(String, bytes);
response.println("[Stream Content as Text]: " + text);

var inputStream = streams.createByteArrayInputStream(bytes);
var outputStreamCopy = streams.createByteArrayOutputStream();
streams.copy(inputStream, outputStreamCopy);
var copiedBytes = outputStreamCopy.getBytes();
var copiedText = String.fromCharCode.apply(String, copiedBytes);
response.println("[Stream Copied Content as Text]: " + copiedText);

response.flush();
response.close();

Functions

---

Function	Description	Returns

Objects

---

InputStream

Function	Description	Returns
readByte()	Reads a single byte from this InputStream	byte
readBytes()	Returns the array of bytes contained in this InputStream	array of byte
readText()	Returns a string representation of the array of bytes contained in this InputStream	string
close()	Closes this InputStream to release the resources	-

OutputStream

Function	Description	Returns
writeByte(byte)	Writes a single byte to this OutputStream	-
writeBytes(bytes)	Writes the array of bytes to this OutputStream	array of byte
readText()	Returns a string representation of the array of bytes contained in this InputStream	string
close()	Closes this OutputStream to release the resources	-

ByteArrayInputStream

inherited from InputStream

ByteArrayOutputStream

inherited from OutputStream and:

Function	Description	Returns
getBytes()	Returns the array of bytes contained in this ByteArrayOutputStream	array of byte
getText()	Returns a string representation of the array of bytes contained in this ByteArrayOutputStream	string
