method ReadableBase.prototype.isPaused
Usage in Deno
```typescript import { ReadableBase } from "node:node__stream.d.ts"; ```
ReadableBase.prototype.isPaused(): boolean
The `readable.isPaused()` method returns the current operating state of the `Readable`.
This is used primarily by the mechanism that underlies the `readable.pipe()` method.
In most typical cases, there will be no reason to use this method directly.
```js
const readable = new stream.Readable();
readable.isPaused(); // === false
readable.pause();
readable.isPaused(); // === true
readable.resume();
readable.isPaused(); // === false
```
boolean
