readAsync(x) helper function #6

Closed reconbot closed 6 years ago

reconbot commented 7 years ago

I'd love to be able to do this

const stream = new ReadableStream()
const data = await bstream.readAsync(stream, 5)

And have data be 5 bytes, or 5 objects (depending on the mode) There are times where it would be helpful to remove the first bit of data before piping it off elsewhere.

Some references.

It seems like stream-shift would be of most use. I have used first-chunk-stream in combination with get-stream for identifying the file-type.

@CodeMan99 this is a good list, but none of them quite do what I want here. I landed readAsync in #26
