Checks if the given argument is a readable stream.
|
|
|
|
- Check if the value is different from `null`.
|
|
- Use `typeof` to check if the value is of type `object` and the `pipe` property is of type `function`.
|
|
- Additionally check if the `typeof` the `_read` and `_readableState` properties are `function` and `object` respectively.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const isReadableStream = val =>
|
|
val !== null &&
|
|
typeof val === 'object' &&
|
|
typeof val.pipe === 'function' &&
|
|
typeof val._read === 'function' &&
|
|
typeof val._readableState === 'object';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const fs = require('fs');
|
|
|
|
isReadableStream(fs.createReadStream('test.txt')); // true
|
|
```
