Streams support in the browsers

Open baybal opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Stream support in chrome been there for many years already (the reason YouTube is working there.)

Would you be open to the idea to make createReadStream and createWriteStream use streams API in the browser?

I'd absolutely be open to this.. it was the eventual intention. I'd happily accept a PR. I'd get to it eventually but not sure how long that might be 😅

I researched streams a bit, and it seems the only way to use them is to switch to fetch instead of XHR

I had planned to switch to fetch over axios/XHR, so I wouldn't rule this out.

If you feel like contributing I would consider a PR that:

  • Switches axios => fetch
  • Implements streams

So what's the progress? Will this feature be implemented in a short time? I'm looking forward to it!!!

The new v5 pre-release is now out, which uses fetch (being required for streams as mentioned above), so I think this could go ahead now.

I'd accept a PR, but I'll also get around to this when I'm able.
