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
})

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
})();

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。

以上这些方法对我都没用。我需要使用Buffer对象:

  const chunks = [];

  readStream.on("data", function (chunk) {
    chunks.push(chunk);
  });

  // Send the buffer or you can put it into a var
  readStream.on("end", function () {
    res.send(Buffer.concat(chunks));
  });

从nodejs文档中，你应该这样做——永远记住一个字符串，而不知道编码只是一堆字节:

var readable = getReadableStreamSomehow();
readable.setEncoding('utf8');
readable.on('data', function(chunk) {
  assert.equal(typeof chunk, 'string');
  console.log('got %d characters of string data', chunk.length);
})

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'));
  })
);
