getReader()
Creates a reader and locks the stream to it. While the stream is locked, no other reader can be acquired until this one is released.
Arguments
The getReader
method takes a single optional options
argument, which is an object with the following properties:
Name | Type | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
mode | string | undefined | A property that specifies the type of reader to create. It currently only supports the undefined value. |
Return value
A ReadableStreamDefaultReader object instance.
Example
JavaScript
import { ReadableStream } from 'k6/experimental/streams';
import { setTimeout } from 'k6/timers';
export default async function () {
// Define a number stream that emits numbers from 1 to 10 every second
const stream = numbersStream();
// We use the getReader method to create a reader and lock the stream to it
const reader = stream.getReader();
while (true) {
const { done, value } = await reader.read();
if (done) break;
console.log(`received number ${value} from stream`);
}
}
function numbersStream() {
let currentNumber = 0;
return new ReadableStream({
start(controller) {
const fn = () => {
if (currentNumber < 10) {
controller.enqueue(++currentNumber);
setTimeout(fn, 1000);
return;
}
controller.close();
};
setTimeout(fn, 1000);
},
});
}
