还有一个是使用承诺的字符串:

function getStream(stream) {
  return new Promise(resolve => {
    const chunks = [];

    # Buffer.from is required if chunk is a String, see comments
    stream.on("data", chunk => chunks.push(Buffer.from(chunk)));
    stream.on("end", () => resolve(Buffer.concat(chunks).toString()));
  });
}

用法:

const stream = fs.createReadStream(__filename);
getStream(stream).then(r=>console.log(r));

如果需要，删除. tostring()以用于二进制数据。

更新:@AndreiLED正确地指出了字符串的问题。我不能得到一个流返回字符串与节点的版本，但api指出这是可能的。

像减流器这样的东西怎么样?

下面是一个使用ES6类的例子如何使用一个。

var stream = require('stream')

class StreamReducer extends stream.Writable {
  constructor(chunkReducer, initialvalue, cb) {
    super();
    this.reducer = chunkReducer;
    this.accumulator = initialvalue;
    this.cb = cb;
  }
  _write(chunk, enc, next) {
    this.accumulator = this.reducer(this.accumulator, chunk);
    next();
  }
  end() {
    this.cb(null, this.accumulator)
  }
}

// just a test stream
class EmitterStream extends stream.Readable {
  constructor(chunks) {
    super();
    this.chunks = chunks;
  }
  _read() {
    this.chunks.forEach(function (chunk) { 
        this.push(chunk);
    }.bind(this));
    this.push(null);
  }
}

// just transform the strings into buffer as we would get from fs stream or http request stream
(new EmitterStream(
  ["hello ", "world !"]
  .map(function(str) {
     return Buffer.from(str, 'utf8');
  })
)).pipe(new StreamReducer(
  function (acc, v) {
    acc.push(v);
    return acc;
  },
  [],
  function(err, chunks) {
    console.log(Buffer.concat(chunks).toString('utf8'));
  })
);

另一种方法是将流转换为promise(参考下面的示例)，然后使用then(或await)将解析值分配给变量。

function streamToString (stream) {
  const chunks = [];
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    stream.on('data', (chunk) => chunks.push(Buffer.from(chunk)));
    stream.on('error', (err) => reject(err));
    stream.on('end', () => resolve(Buffer.concat(chunks).toString('utf8')));
  })
}

const result = await streamToString(stream)

使用非常流行的stream-buffers包，你可能已经在你的项目依赖项中有了这个包，这是非常简单的:

// imports
const { WritableStreamBuffer } = require('stream-buffers');
const { promisify } = require('util');
const { createReadStream } = require('fs');
const pipeline = promisify(require('stream').pipeline);

// sample stream
let stream = createReadStream('/etc/hosts');

// pipeline the stream into a buffer, and print the contents when done
let buf = new WritableStreamBuffer();
pipeline(stream, buf).then(() => console.log(buf.getContents().toString()));

简单易用的流行(每周超过500万次下载)和轻量级的get-stream库:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/get-stream

const fs = require('fs');
const getStream = require('get-stream');

(async () => {
    const stream = fs.createReadStream('unicorn.txt');
    console.log(await getStream(stream)); //output is string
})();

这对我来说是有效的，并且基于Node v6.7.0文档:

let output = '';
stream.on('readable', function() {
    let read = stream.read();
    if (read !== null) {
        // New stream data is available
        output += read.toString();
    } else {
        // Stream is now finished when read is null.
        // You can callback here e.g.:
        callback(null, output);
    }
});

stream.on('error', function(err) {
  callback(err, null);
})
