WritableStream

A WritableStream is the writable property of a TransformStream. On the Workers platform, WritableStream cannot be directly created using the WritableStream constructor.

A typical way to write to a WritableStream is to pipe a ReadableStream to it.

readableStream
  .pipeTo(writableStream)
  .then(() => console.log('All data successfully written!'))
  .catch(e => console.error('Something went wrong!', e));

To write to a WritableStream directly, you must use its writer.

const writer = writableStream.getWriter();
writer.write(data);

Refer to the WritableStreamDefaultWriter documentation for further detail.

• locked boolean

  • A Boolean value to indicate if the writable stream is locked to a writer.

• abort(reasonstringoptional) : Promise<void>

  • Aborts the stream. This method returns a promise that fulfills with a response undefined. reason is an optional human-readable string indicating the reason for cancellation. reason will be passed to the underlying sinks abort algorithm. If this writable stream is one side of a TransformStream, then its abort algorithm causes the transforms readable side to become errored with reason.

  Warning

  Any data not yet written is lost upon abort.

• getWriter() : WritableStreamDefaultWriter

  • Gets an instance of WritableStreamDefaultWriter and locks the WritableStream to that writer instance.
