How do I read the contents of a Node.js stream into a string variable?

Question

I\'m hacking on a Node program that uses smtp-protocol to capture SMTP emails and act on the mail data. The library provides the mail data as a stream, and I don\'t know how

Answer 1

What do you think about this ?

// lets a ReadableStream under stream variable 
const chunks = [];

for await (let chunk of stream) {
    chunks.push(chunk)
}

const buffer  = Buffer.concat(chunks);
const str = buffer.toString("utf-8")
