minipass-pipeline simplifies piping streams together in Node.js, handling errors and cleanup automatically. It takes an array of streams or a single stream, connecting them sequentially. If any stream in the pipeline emits an error, minipass-pipeline ensures proper cleanup by destroying all streams involved, preventing memory leaks and unhandled exceptions. This utility streamlines complex stream workflows, promoting robust and maintainable code.
