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()));

希望这比上面的答案更有用:

var string = '';
stream.on('data',function(data){
  string += data.toString();
  console.log('stream data ' + part);
});

stream.on('end',function(){
  console.log('final output ' + string);
});

请注意，字符串连接并不是收集字符串部分的最有效方法，但使用它是为了简单(也许您的代码并不关心效率)。

此外，对于非ascii文本，这段代码可能会产生不可预测的失败(它假设每个字符都适合一个字节)，但也许您也不关心这一点。

我通常使用这个简单的函数将流转换为字符串:

function streamToString(stream, cb) {
  const chunks = [];
  stream.on('data', (chunk) => {
    chunks.push(chunk.toString());
  });
  stream.on('end', () => {
    cb(chunks.join(''));
  });
}

使用的例子:

let stream = fs.createReadStream('./myFile.foo');
streamToString(stream, (data) => {
  console.log(data);  // data is now my string variable
});

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)

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'));
  })
);

最简洁的解决方案可能是使用“string-stream”包，它将流转换为带有承诺的字符串。

const streamString = require('stream-string')

streamString(myStream).then(string_variable => {
    // myStream was converted to a string, and that string is stored in string_variable
    console.log(string_variable)

}).catch(err => {
     // myStream emitted an error event (err), so the promise from stream-string was rejected
    throw err
})
