The npm package stream-consumers saw infrequent releases. One version was released in August 2021, followed by two versions in December 2021, and one in January 2022. Since then, there have been no releases for over three and a half years, up to August 2025. The package appears to be inactive or in a maintenance phase with no active development.
stream-consumers provides a collection of functions that reliably consume Node.js streams, handling backpressure correctly and ensuring complete data retrieval. Offering promise-based APIs for common stream operations like draining, buffering, and discarding data, it simplifies asynchronous stream processing. It cleanly handles stream errors and end-of-stream signals, creating a more robust and predictable environment. It offers replacements for deprecated stream methods, future-proofing your codebase.
Stream-consumers downloads show variability. After a surge in October-November 2024, downloads decreased before rising again in early 2025. A peak was reached in June 2025. Current month downloads for September 2025 are showing a similar trend as September 2024.
