FS createReadStream not supported? #217

Closed nicmosc closed 5 years ago

nicmosc commented 6 years ago

I can't seem to get the createReadStream function to work and I'm getting a ENOTSUP error. I assume it's because this method hasn't been implemented?

I would need this to stream the files to an S3 uploader (not from the official aws sdk). If streams are not yet supported how would I go about doing something like this? Reading from the dir with the s3 client fails as they have their own custom fs dependency.

createReadStream is on the roadmap for the next major release, and I don't have an ETA for it due to other commitments.

You could consider writing a simple polyfill for your current needs, e.g. that uses readFile to read a file into a buffer, pushes it into a NodeJS readable stream, and ends the stream. Just overwrite the supplied stub that throws ENOTSUP with that code.
