FileHandle.readableWebStream - node__fs--promises.d.ts - Node documentation
method FileHandle.readableWebStream
Unstable

Usage in Deno

```typescript import { type FileHandle } from "node:node__fs--promises.d.ts"; ```
FileHandle.readableWebStream(options?: ReadableWebStreamOptions): ReadableStream
Returns a `ReadableStream` that may be used to read the files data. An error will be thrown if this method is called more than once or is called after the `FileHandle` is closed or closing. ```js import { open, } from 'node:fs/promises'; const file = await open('./some/file/to/read'); for await (const chunk of file.readableWebStream()) console.log(chunk); await file.close(); ``` While the `ReadableStream` will read the file to completion, it will not close the `FileHandle` automatically. User code must still call the`fileHandle.close()` method.
