How to create streams from string in Node.Js?

by

As @substack corrected me in #node, the new streams API in Node v10 makes this easier:

const Readable = require('stream').Readable;
const s = new Readable();
s._read = () => {}; // redundant? see update below
s.push('your text here');
s.push(null);

… after which you can freely pipe it or otherwise pass it to your intended consumer.

It’s not as clean as the resumer one-liner, but it does avoid the extra dependency.

(Update: in v0.10.26 through v9.2.1 so far, a call to push directly from the REPL prompt will crash with a not implemented exception if you didn’t set _read. It won’t crash inside a function or a script. If inconsistency makes you nervous, include the noop.)
