Stream body parser

Gives a stream of an incoming http request, optionally with content decoded in respect to the Content-Encoding header.

Installation

npm install --save @body/stream

Usage

const getBodyStream = require('@body/stream')

// ...

app.post('/v1/users', (req, res, next) => {
  const body = getBodyStream(req)

  body.pipe(/* ... */)
})

// ...

API

`getBodyStream(req: Request, options?: Options): ReadableStream`

Read the body of the incoming request req. Returns a readable stream of the data.

If the body isn't encoded, the incoming request req will be returned as is.

Options

`inflate` (boolean)

When set to true, then bodies with a deflate or gzip content-encoding will be inflated.

Defaults to false.
