## API
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `mergeStreams(streams: stream.Readable[]): MergedStream`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Merges an array of [readable streams](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#readable-streams) and returns a new readable stream that emits data from the individual streams as it arrives.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you provide an empty array, it returns an already-ended stream.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### `MergedStream`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
_Type_: `stream.Readable`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A single stream combining the output of multiple streams.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### `MergedStream.add(stream: stream.Readable): void`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pipe a new readable stream.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Throws if `MergedStream` has already ended.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### `MergedStream.remove(stream: stream.Readable): boolean`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unpipe a stream previously added using either [`mergeStreams(streams)`](#mergestreamsstreams-streamreadable-mergedstream) or [`MergedStream.add(stream)`](#mergedstreamaddstream-streamreadable-void).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns `false` if the stream was not previously added, or if it was already removed by `MergedStream.remove(stream)`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The removed stream is not automatically ended.
