Typedarray To Readablestream

The naive approach to creating a ReadableStream from a Uint8Array is to use the ReadableStream constructor and enqueue the entire array as a single chunk. For larger chunks, this may be undesirable as it isn’t actually “streaming” the data.

const arr = new Uint8Array(64);
const stream = new ReadableStream({
  start(controller) {
    controller.enqueue(arr);
    controller.close();
  },
});

To stream the data in smaller chunks, first create a Blob instance from the Uint8Array. Then use the Blob.stream() method to create a ReadableStream that streams the data in chunks of a specified size.

const arr = new Uint8Array(64);
const blob = new Blob([arr]);
const stream = blob.stream();

---

The chunk size can be set by passing a number to the .stream() method.

const arr = new Uint8Array(64);
const blob = new Blob([arr]);

// set chunk size of 1024 bytes
const stream = blob.stream(1024);
