TextEncoderStream: readable property
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2022.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The readable read-only property of the TextEncoderStream interface returns a ReadableStream that emits encoded binary data as Uint8Array chunks.
Value
Examples
This example creates a TextEncoderStream that encodes strings as UTF-8. It writes some strings to the writable stream, then reads the encoded binary data from the readable stream.
js
const stream = new TextEncoderStream();
// Write data to be encoded
const data = "你好世界";
const writer = stream.writable.getWriter();
writer.write(data);
writer.close();
// Read compressed data
const reader = stream.readable.getReader();
let done = false;
let output = [];
while (!done) {
const result = await reader.read();
if (result.value) {
output.push(...result.value);
}
done = result.done;
}
console.log(new Uint8Array(output).toBase64()); // 5L2g5aW95LiW55WM
