The ReadableStreamBYOBReader
interface of the Streams API represents a BYOB ("bring your own buffer") reader that can be used to read stream data supplied by the developer (e.g. a custom ReadableStream()
constructor).
Constructor
ReadableStreamBYOBReader()
- Creates and returns a
ReadableStreamBYOBReader
object instance.
Properties
ReadableStreamBYOBReader.closed
Read only- Allows you to write code that responds to an end to the streaming process. Returns a promise that fulfills if the stream becomes closed or the reader's lock is released, or rejects if the stream errors.
Methods
ReadableStreamBYOBReader.cancel()
- Cancels the stream, signaling a loss of interest in the stream by a consumer. The supplied reason argument will be given to the underlying source, which may or may not use it.
ReadableStreamBYOBReader.read()
- Returns a promise providing access to the next chunk in the stream's internal queue.
ReadableStreamBYOBReader.releaseLock()
- Releases the reader's lock on the stream.
Examples
TBD.
