Blob: stream() method

Available in workers

The stream() method of the Blob interface returns a ReadableStream which upon reading returns the data contained within the Blob.

Syntax

stream()

None.

A ReadableStream which, upon reading, returns the contents of the Blob.

With stream() and the returned ReadableStream, you gain several interesting capabilities:

Call getReader() on the returned stream to get an object to use to read the data from the blob using methods such as the ReadableStreamDefaultReader interface’s read() method.
Call the returned stream’s pipeTo() method to pipe the blob’s data to a writable stream.
Call the returned stream’s tee() method to tee the readable stream. This returns an array containing two new ReadableStream objects, each of which returns the contents of the Blob.
Call the returned stream’s pipeThrough() method to pipe the stream through a TransformStream or any other readable and writable pair.
